I am here. What seemed like a dream for so many years became a reality yesterday when I rode up on the dock to the Anastasis. The pictures that I have admired and dreams that I have created over the last many years are now my reality and my home. WOW. I am in complete awe of this opportunity. My flights all went incredibly well. No problems at all. I continue to have an unexplainable peace (unexplainable, yet promised from the Lord). Which continues to affirm to me that this is just where the Lord wants me to be.
The flight yesterday from London to Monrovia was interesting. The airline and service was outstanding. We made a stop in Freetown, Sierra Leone. As we were landing I could see the little huts, dirt roads paths, people walking around and I was sure the pilot was going to try to land this 757 on a dirt runway. But, suddenly there was a bit of pavement to pull the landing off on, phew!!!!
I am going to have to finish this later...my roommate (Hannah from England) just came and asked if I wanted to ride a bike to the beach. Heck yes! So I am off to a Liberian beach. I will write more later. I don't have much going on until Monday so I will be back. Thanks for the prayers. Rest assured. I am safe, happy and living in the Joy of the Lord and all He has prepared me for and has in store for me. Praise Him!

Dara,
What a praise that you feel such peace and that you have such a friendly roomate. I hope you guys had a great day at the beach and she is as special as you are. What a friend for life you will have in her, as you share these experiences together! How cool a sight that must have been for you, when you first got there. Just rejoicing with you and continuing to pray for God's peace over you,
