Well, the past week has had some major ups and downs in reference to this journey, which is wonderful because now I appreciate the excitement that I am currently blessed by...and I am ready to get this show on the road (or in the air)! I met with Bonnie Dixon today, who is helping me coordinate this trip, and it seems that Sanyati Baptist Hospital is waiting for me with open arms! I cannot wait to meet and serve the people there!
I have my suitcases laid out, with most of what I am planning to back nearby. Today I bought some supplies for the trip: pencils, balloons, safety pins, a sewing kit, some inspirational bookmarks (that are very pretty!), along with a few other gifts and supplies. Bonnie mentioned today that oftentimes it takes a month or two's salary to purchase a necktie in Zimbabwe...I mean, I know ties are not the most important thing in life, but that shocked me! So tonight, my Grandaddy donated about 15 ties, along with a few dress shirts to support the cause. I am sure I will be blessed when giving these and the other small gifts I have to those who need them most!
Of course, there is still some unrest in the country, although the political leaders are gaining some ground by at least agreeing to talk. So your prayers are still needed for the people of Zimbabwe and their leaders, as well as me, as I prepare to embark on this great journey!
I look forward to sending out more updates soon!
