Briefing, Trip Tomorrow, and Other Random Stuff.

Tomorrow afternoon at 12:55 pm (I may have previously said a different time if so, sorry!) my team and I will begin our flight to Dakar, Senegal (the picture on the left). I'm so excited about this, and a little scared, I'm not a big fan of planes I don't think...we'll see... Like I previously said please just pray for the safety of my team and I.

For now though we're still briefing and getting to know each other. It's a really neat experience so far and I've made 25 new friends. The past few days we have been sharing our life stories, as a side note when 25 people share life stories it's a very long process though it's also very interesting! We've also had a few team building exercises and some other fun ways we've been getting to know each other. I

Already God is showing me so much about myself, and though I'm fairly reserved when I'm around people I don't know, I'm already beginning to come out of my shell and share things with them as if we've been friends for months or even years. It's so awesome to watch all of us from completely different backgrounds and places in life come together to serve our God! I can't even describe it! Because of this already amazing experience I'm so very excited for Dakar and even the plane ride, (though like I said before many more emotions are associated with this as well...) only one more day!

Oh and some new stuff I've learned/tried that I want to throw out there, and as a warning this is COMPLETELY random!

1. Bojangles (which I'd never heard of till Chicago) is pretty tasty
2. Akkon is from Dakar
3. UNC and NC State are NOT the same place!

Well that's all for now! Thanks for all the prayers!
