I am in orientation in Phoenix right now. We are all working on our computers to get accounts for this website community we have to join. So I have some downtime and figured I would write an entry.
I can't believe I will be getting on a plane to leave the country in about 8 hours. It's insane! It feels exactly like when you are waiting in a long line for a new roller coaster. I'm really nervous and shaky and have butterflies. But I also am really really excited. We are sitting here in orientation being told all about what this will be like and it's like watching the roller coaster go up the huge hills and plunge down, knowing we will be doing the same thing soon. It's this crazy anticipation that keeps building up and we are all at the point where we just want to be in Africa. But we still have a day of orientation and 33 hours on a plane ahead of us.
It has been so great meeting everyone and realizing we are all going through the same thing right now. Everyone is a lot less intimidating in person than they were just looking at their facebook profiles (go figure). Everyone going is really, really cool. I think we are all going to get along great.
Alright, I think we are going to get started orientating again soon. I guess the next time I write, it will be from Uganda!

Hey Rach! First let me start off by saying...excuse my first two posts! Two Words...Your Mother.
I am so excited for you. What a wonderful Blessing. I also feel blessed to be able to experience this adventure through you. I want to offer up a little prayer for you - Love and God Bless.
Dear Heavenly Father I lift up Rachael to You today and would like to bless her with these words of prayer. Lord encourage her with Your Spirit. Bless her with health, finances, direction, strength, wisdom, love and all the things that are needful at this time. Father, may the joy of the Lord flood over her and help her to serve You with newness of heart and spirit. I pray for her in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
