Night before departure
Sitting in my Philadelphia hotel room, getting ready for my flight to Africa tomorrow. There are about 34 of us new PC volunteers here at staging and they are all amazing people. I am going to have a great support network from these peeps and the people already in Burkina. All of my anxieties are gone and I am super stoked to get on the ground in Burkina. I will get a few days in the luxury of the Capitol, Ouagadougou, before we travel to the training village. I can't even begin to describe how happy I am with this decision. Shoutout to my Mom and Dad, without their support at home I wouldn't be financially able to do this, nor would I be well equipped. You two are the greatest supporters, so I will keep my word and upload tons of pictures. Later brohans, I'm off to Africa!

That's awesome Barry. So happy it's going so well. I'm not surprised though, you've always been very decisive and thorough with your plans. Praying for safe travels and that God continues to surround you with His grace. Wish I could see you when I'm in Cairo in a couple of weeks. I may just have to jump on a camel and track ya down LOL
ReplyDeleteGood luck Barry!! We are all very proud of you and excited to hear the occasional update on how things are going. I know I didn't get a chance to sit down and visit with you but I just wanted to let you know that you are doing something that I really admire. We love you, be safe!! Aunt Anne
