last few minutes in America

My bags are packed, I'm ready to go... I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. So my last few hours have been filled with packing, weighing repacking, reweighing and getting everything cleaned up. Hard to believe that I am leaving the US again. For some reason this time is a bit harder. I think it is because I was only back in Denver for two weeks. I am excited to go back to Nepal and finish what I started, complete this trip and be with friends there. This time is a little different though. I leave Denver at about 5.30pm today (Monday), and I arrive in Nepal on Wednesday at about 1pm. I am SO NOT excited to be in transit, trapped in the small seat with 500 new best friends. I can only hope for well bathed small people to sit next to me, and for good movies on my little screen. I arrive in Nepal on Wednesday which is typically the day we have our base staff prayer meeting. It will be fun to see everyone at once, and have see people I otherwise wouldn't. Not sure what my ministry plans are, I think I will be working on the same team as before, only this time a team of three is coming from Canada. I think I am going to lead the team (or I guess guide the team is a better term), helping them adjust to Nepali life and culture. We'll see. Thanks so much for praying for me! I have been so blessed by you all! Your calls, emails, comments, hugs and coffee have been an encouragement! I feel like you go with me when I travel, that I am not alone. I received word that the insurance policy I took out will reimburse me for my flight to the states in November. This is a great help, keeping me debt free and lifting that burden from my shoulders. Blessings to you all! Come visit!
