22 July 2008

(I wrote this on the plane and finally got Internet access to post it)

I left Minnesota in true Wendy fashion . . . I left my keys for my locked luggage at home on my bed. Luckily I noticed this before I was through security and my wonderful neighbors were able to bring them to me at the airport. After being flustered and that commotion I'm not hesitant to say that I had a "What am I doing???" moment as I was going through security, thinking about how easy It would be to just turn around, but my feet kept moving against my greatest fears and I made it on the plane. I would be lying id I said that I wasn't scared or nervous, but while I was sitting at the airport in Amsterdam I realized that I have no reason to be afraid. I have my parents, brother, sister, extended family, friends, and so many more people praying and thinking about me everyday. Not to mention my closest friends, people from church, neighbors, and my three guardian angels up in heaven. Between all of you, I know that I am going to have an amazing trip. I know there will be hard times where I just want to reach out and grab the phone, but I get to relay on myself and Jesus to help get me through, and not to mention the other 9 students who are sitting on the plane with me.

On a lighter note on the flight from Amsterdam to Kilimanjaro they gave us HOT TOWELS on the plane! It is the little things that make me happy.

Thanks to everyone for all your prayers, they are helping by providing comfort. So please keep the prayers coming and I will keep the posts coming!

Tutanana!! (See you later)
