Praise the Lord - the day is finally here! I have little time to write but I will say this much - we survived training camp, and my team is absolutely incredible! I can't wait to tell you about each of them, and about the memories we've already made together. God is growing us together as a family in amazing ways!

More on that later - for now - it's time to pack up and head to the airport! Our first flight leaves at 9am - to Washington, DC - Jo'burg South Africa - Port Elizabeth South Africa - and finally a drive to Jeffrey's Bay late at night on the 9th. It will be a LONG couple of days - please keep us in your prayers!

Love to you all - can't wait to update you more soon.

Africa - here we come!
