packing

The past few days I have been packing. Packing for NIGERIA! We are leaving tomorrow and it still doesn't feel real. Our plan is supposed to take off around 2 but I have to go to the church at 9:45. Besides a few last minute things (ipod, face soap, knitting, camera, etc.) I am pretty much all packed. I was able to get all my stuff in my backpack (carry on) and a suitcase (checked bag). Tomorrow morning I am going to weigh them to make sure they don't exceed 26 and 50 pounds. I'm pretty sure they don't.

Yesterday was my last swim practice for about 3 weeks. I know I am going to miss it and I know I am going to die when I come back. These next two weeks I will be on planes, in airports, in Nigeria, and in so many other places. I am super pumped! This will be my first time on a plane, my first time out of the country, and my first mission trip. I can't wait to see what God is going to do.

This blog post is a little farewell for three weeks! The next time I post I will have so many stories to tell.
