Looonnggg day.

I had my first day of orientation today. It was a long day of PowerPoint. It's okay though, all of these presentations of pictures and awesome stories are getting me excited! I've met a lot of fellow travelers here who are preparing for long term mission trips, like at least a two year commitment. It has me thinking ... that is a TRUE leap of faith. They are leaving it all behind to chase after God's plan for their life and to bring hope and healing to the forgotten poor. I wish I had the courage it takes to do that. Maybe ... one day c: Random Sierra Leone fact of the day: 1 in 8 women will die during childbirth. It is the leading death of women there. This blew my mind. Just think about you and your friends, an occasion that we see as a joyous one is feared in this nation. On a happier note I am making some new friends and learning a lot. Love you all lots! <3

    we forget what a blessing we have in our medical care system. it may be flawed in many ways, but praise the Lord that we don't have to fear death to bring life.

    i'm excited you're making friends! and learning a lot. and getting more and more excited!
