My Journey Begins

The time has finally arrived.  Tomorrow, January 2nd at 3pm I begin my journey into the unfamiliar territory of East Africa.  A mere 20 hour series of flights will eventually deposit me in Malawi, where I will spend the next six weeks working at Queen Elizabeth; a hospital dedicated to serving a nameless and faceless people group with physical and emotional illness unlike anything I have ever seen or imagined.  If I am honest with myself the task I am endeavoring upon is a quite daunting one.  One in which I find myself feeling a bit fearful and uncertain as to whether or not I will have what it takes to face all that I will encounter in this new world.  

Ready or not, here I go.  Feel free to check back if you would like as I will be updating my blog as often as possible with the goings on of East Africa.  You can also feel free to leave a comment or two as I am sure I will be longing for familiarity.
