getting there

On Monday May 30^th at 2:00pm my team and I set off on our journey to Swaziland, Africa. We had been waiting for this day since Monday February 21^st when we all found out that we had been selected to serve in Africa. So many preparations and arrangements had to be made on our end and by the onsite missionaries in order for this day to finally be here. Financial support had to be raised, shots had to be taken, plane tickets, bug spray, sunscreen, water purification tablets, shoes, flashlights, toilet paper, enough toiletries to last two months and skirts for the girls all had to be bought. We had to make sure that we as summer missionaries were physical, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually ready to venture off into unknown territories. There were so many unanswered questions and all we could do was to rely on Christ and know that no expectations was a blessing. Despite everything the moment had arrived whether we were ready or not.
