The first goodbye….

Mozambique 2006 - Ashley & Brooke June 8th, 2006 by admin

Wow! The day is finally here. Tonight I will fly away from Portland to start the first leg of our amazing summer journey. Even though Brooke and I don’t actually begin our work in Mozambique until July, we will both be traveling for a couple weeks beforehand so we thought we would just start the updates now.

I will first be flying to Europe where I get to spend a week with my boyfriend, Andrew and some of his friends from bible school there. Next I will be spending two weeks in Central Africa (Burundi) visiting Andrew’s family and getting some time to become accustomed to African culture with them. I feel very fortunate to have this time and extra help to prepare for my work in Mozambique.

Meanwhile, Brooke will be here in Eugene for another week finishing out her final classes at the U of O and preparing for graduation. Then she’s off to Ireland for a few weeks with her family. We will finally meet up in Mozambique, the first week of July.

I am so excited that the days of preparation are drawing to a close and the actual journey is starting! God has been so faithful and I look forward to walking by faith, having to rely on the Lord and your prayers for me each day.
