I leave on Saturday morning around 10am from the Asheville airport headed south of the border. I will arrive in Mexico City around 2:30pm (their time; which is one hour behind us).
It kind of seems surreal that I'm leaving in two day. I am really excited! Strangely I'm not really nervous or sad...which I thought I would be considering I'm leaving for such a long time.
It all just happened so fast. About two weeks ago I was not sure when I would be leaving because I did not have all of my support raised. God provided in a mighty way and His provision is a clear sign that He wants me in Mexico on August 7th. This "clarity" I think brings peace because it is so obvious that it is God's timing and will, but frankly I'm just excited. I have been in love with everything Mexican for the last six years of my life: the people, language, culture, pride... I do love Hispanics in general, but there is just something about Mexico that attracts me; and I'm finally going there. It's just exciting! I know God has big plans for me to see in Mexico (apparently starting August 7th) and I can wait to be a part of them.
