8 Days to go!

Hello Friends! I am sitting in the mountains in Breckenridge, Colorado enjoying the view. I am up here for a few days with my immediate family and some close friends. It is good to spend this quality time with them before I leave. I need to enjoy the peace now because starting monday I will be traveling for 6 days with one days rest. I leave Denver on monday the 23rd to drive 3 days to Pennsylvania where I will leave my belongings with my parents. I will rest thursday and I fly out of Pittsburgh on the 27th. I have a layover in Atlanta and then Paris and will reach Yaounde, Cameroon about 6pm on July 28th. I will then have 1 week of staff training and orientation before the students come the following week.
Right now I am praying my visa gets processed in time. I sent it overnight to Washington DC where it takes 5-7 days to be processed and will be overnighted to catch up with me in Pittsburgh. At least that is the plan. You can lift that up in prayer. Also, right now my focus is on getting there, but I know once I get there I will have a whole new batch of things to adjust to and prepare for. I know God will go before me and that even now he is preparing me, but I would appreciate your prayers for that as well.
I hope this finds you and you families well and enjoying the beautiful summer, wherever you are. I challenge you to find God in every day, not just in the big things but in the little blessings he provides as well.
Untill next time, AMY
