Outpouring.

In the days leading up to my departure, I've been overwhelmed by the gestures of support and prayers from friends, families, and strangers.

Donations from students.
Phone calls from baby-sitters lonnngg ago.
A 'send off' piggy-bank filled with money and good-luck notes from work.
Scholarship connections.
Facebook messages.

I am caught off-guard by the amazing support from others. Although this is a monumental event in my life, I hardly expected others to invest so much of their own personal time, finances, and efforts into ensuring my safe travels and positive impact.

So I guess that I am trying to say is THANK-YOU,  THANK-YOU for your support! The countdown is almost done, and Friday will be here before you know it. Four days left!
