Coming to my desk and seeing flowers, cards, and a bottle of champagne is an awesome way to start my day with a reminder that there was a great purpose for me here- relationships that have impacted me in wonderful ways and that will stay with me for a lifetime. While the job itself has been less than fulfilling in the worldly sense, here I have made some of my closest friends, got to see my best friend every day and shared the word of God with people I never expected to. For that reason, I am a little sad about my last day, because I know what a blessing it is that I come to work with so many people who mean a lot to me.
So, what's next?? In 20 days, we board an airplane to Quito, Ecuador to meet Carrie and all of us will be taking water filters with us. For three weeks we will travel around the country visiting different people and groups to bring them water filters to allow them clean and safe water, and we'll also spend time with adorable kiddos at an orphanage. What else does it take to do something like this? For us, being homeless!! We are getting rid of what we can live without, packing up the rest, and moving out of our home this weekend. Our sweet little cat, Jack, will be in the loving care of my dear friend, but we are going to miss him so much!! We'll crash at my mom's house while we gather up our gear and get all of our ducks in a row to take off on the first part of this adventure!! Stay tuned!
