I expect a lot yet at the same time, I do not know exactly what I am expecting! 

I know that there are things that I will miss…

Family (Erik, you’re included in that group). Friends. Home. “Normalcy”. 

While I expect to miss the home life… 

I also expect to grow.  

Though there may be challenges, complications, or hardships to encounter through traveling, my face is uplifted at the thought of each new day in a new place.  I am excited for all of the people that I am going to meet along the way, and for all of the things that I will see and encounter!

While there is still some preparation to be done, I feel on track and I know that the next 6 days will fly by.. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. Rwanda!
