fare well! this is my last night is the US for next 13 months and i am full of emotions i am super excited and cannot wait to get on the airplane and fly off to Africa. I know this is an amazing opportunity to serve God and others....but on the other hand i am kinda freaking out (on the inside) its hard for me to imagine leaving everything that is familiar and comfortable for the completely unknown with that said i am still So So STINKING EXCITED!!! This is going to be an experience of a life time! So we leave at tomorrow Tuesday Feb 9th at 730am to take a 5 hour drive to Houston where we will wait 3 hours to board our 10 hour flight to Paris, followed by a 5 hour layover and then a 7 hour flight to Cotonou, Benin, West Africa! quite a bit a traveling def well worth it! i wont be able to communicate with any one for the next three weeks while in Benin, so some prayer request while i am there are travel mercies, team unity, health, comfort (spiritual and physical),and for God to prepare the hearts of the people we will come in contact with. I'll update you all as soon as i can!!
Thanks again for all of your prayers, love and support!!
love Shannon
