Anticipation

I got home a week ago and all my time has been focused towards getting ready to go on HNGR. During the end of the semester, people kept on asking me how I was feeling but I was so caught up in schoolwork that it was hard to really sort out what I was feeling. I would answer "I'm excited but also intimidated because I know HNGR isn't going to be an easy journey." This is pretty much how I am feeling now, but I've gone through a whirlwind of emotions since then! Home has been great because I really needed some time to relax and focus on preparing. My family has been great in helping me process all the new information I keep getting and so I feel so much more prepared! HNGR will not be easy, but I am beginning to see how the layout of HNGR really allows God to work in so many ways. I am excited to see how he will work in my life and the lives around me as I live and serve in Nkwanta, Ghana!

Tomorrow I will get on a plane and travel through the night to arrive in Accra, Ghana in the middle of the afternoon. I will have a few days in the capital to adjust to the new time and to get some things I need before heading to Nkwanta, which is more rural. Hopefully the next time I write, I will have a lot more interesting experiences to tell you about!
