details, details

There are so many last minute details to take care of the day before/of traveling. I'm racking my brain to make sure that I don't forget anything of importance. I'm sure the usual night-before-leaving late night WalMart trip will occur.

Just confirmed my flight.. Good thing I did because they had no record of my itinerary under my current confirmation number. We got it all straightened out though. I even checked the places where I will be sitting on the plane, and I am either sitting by myself (from Jackson to Houston and back to Jackson) or on an isle seat (Houston to Quito and back to Houston). So for that I can't complain. I am glad I will be able to get up and move around a bit without climbing over people.

I am getting very excited about being in Ecuador. I know that God has led me to this point, and he has a purpose for my being there. It will be a great joy to find out what those purposes are. I am looking forward to meeting the other five girls who are also assigned to this trip as well as the missionaries who are currently serving there. I always enjoy meeting missionaries. They give me a glimpse into what being on the field is really like, and I think having a realistic view of being on the field will provide me with a more solid foundation for serving in the future.

Bendito Dios, no hay nadie como tú. Te pudo tu dirección y sabiduría en mis decisiones. Gracias porque siempre estás conmigo. En el nombre de tu hijo, Jesucristo, amén.
