Five.

Tonight, I had my final meeting for Haiti. We went to the Sunday evening service after where the congregation prayed over us. As all of us were leaving, instead of saying "see you in a couple weeks" like we usually did between meetings, we said "see you on Friday." That's because we leave on Friday. It blew my mind.

This week is far too busy. I'm going to pack when I get the chances, but who knows when that will be between class, work, and homework. I'm going to be needing prayers as I go through this week, especially on Thursday night and Friday.

Okay, Lord, here we go...

Ten

I leave for Haiti in 10 days. It's wild to think about that. 10 days from right now, I will likely be too nervous to sleep any later so I'll be up double and triple checking my suitcase, making sure I have everything I need. I'll be praying for the team, asking for safe travels and that the Lord would continue to work in all of our hearts. As the next week and a half passes, I seek your prayers as I prepare to leave. I'm full of nerves, just unsure of what to expect through all of this. Plus there is a lot of travel involved (23 hours on the way there, 20 on the way back) and three flights to and from (meaning three take-offs...yikes). I'm more than ready to go and see what the Lord has prepared for my life, but there's always going to be those nerves. I'm beyond thankful for all of the prayer and support that has come so far. The Lord has provided beyond what I expected so far and I haven't even left yet. But that's my God...He's amazing.
