London



Hello Gang,

Well I am well on my way to Swaziland. My first two flights have been very uneventful hooray! But isn't it funny how you can sit next to someone for hours and either not speak, have a whole conversation about nothing really or have a deep meaningful conversation and not know the other persons name. These were mistakes I made often when traveling so I made it a point to introduce myself at some point during the flight. On my first flight from SFO to Chicago I sat next to a Superintendent of a large school district in Boston. She got to hear my story, I was able to share Christ and my beliefs with her and we had an amazing discussions about the education system. She was such a huge encouragement to me as I am headed out into the "adult" world doing my profession. Then on the second flight which was quite longer, from Chicago to London, about 8 hours. I had the privilege of getting to know a young man named David. He was in a group doing a study abroad program. We discussed history which is his major and then he asked where I was headed and what I was up to. What an opportunity I have to share Christ, be bold and talk about this exciting year ahead of me.

I still have another 4 hours of my layover until I fly into Joburg, SA. I have been so blessed by the Lord in just giving me rest on the plane, allowing me to make all my connecting flights with out any hiccups. Thank you so much for all of your prayers!! I even made friends with the flight attendants. I feel very calm and ready to be there already, london airport is very crowded, So I just stay in my little section until its time for my flight. I will post more as soon as I can. All for now!

Thank you for all the calls, texts and e-mails before I left I feel very loved!
