23 Days 'Til Transplant

I'm just over three weeks away from moving to the Dominican Republic and I'm a sea of emotions. Still in Michigan visiting my parents, I'm anxious to get to Myrtle Beach and surround myself with friends and my church family.

It's been a relatively good visit home, with lots of time to relax and lounge around the house, but it's also been filled with frustration and family stresses - not to mention the fact that I miss my boyfriend Daniel terribly.

But in just two days I will be at the beach and closer to fulfilling my calling as a missionary. It's still very surreal and the realization hasn't sank in yet - just think, by this time next month I will be in a different country, surrounded by Spanish speakers and hot tortillas.

As the day of my transplant quickly approaches, please pray for:

-Peace of mind and spirit
-A tight reign on my emotions - I feel like I'm on a roller coaster sometimes!
-A house! I still have no place to stay!

Thanks so much for your support, I'll keep you posted!
