Sleepy Start

Today’s travels began with an early 2:30 am wake up call and then drive to MPLS. I’m definitely not regretting my decision to only take one bag; it’s a heavy bag, but it is so worth it. There’s one more stop in Dallas and then it’s off to Siguatepeque. I’ve had my flat white with cinnamon for the morning, so I am a happy camper(: Upon arrival today, I’ll just be settling in and buying lots of toiletries. Pro tip: not bringing toiletries saves a LOT of room.

Funding Update

My trip has been fully funded (in excess)!!! Thank you so much to everyone who has been supporting me through prayer and finances! I was hoping to raise enough for most of my expenses. God had another plan: raise enough, and then raise two times that so that I can donate the rest while I’m there(: So, know that your support is not only going towards my expenses, but also going to people in Siguatepeque who need it a whole lot more than I do. This morning I was half asleep and I heard Him tell me, “See what I am doing? I’ve provided more than you need—and you haven’t even left yet.”

Here’s to seeing what He will do…

All packed!

Gearing up to take off tomorrow! We leave at 3am for MPLS… I’ve packed my life for the next three weeks into a backpack– which was easier than I anticipated! Made sure to pack my favorite mint chocolate so we’re pretty much set. This blog will be a daily (hopefully) update of my adventure to Siguatepeque! More to come tomorrow… (:

Long p.s.

For anyone who is new to the adventure, tomorrow I will be flying out to Siguatepeque, Honduras to volunteer with two different medical organizations. Three days out of the week I will be with Hospital Evangelico working wherever I am needed. The other two days of the workweek, I will be with a mobile clinic that goes up into the mountain/jungle areas surrounding El Porvenir to reach individuals that may not otherwise be able to receive care. On the weekend, I hope to have a good time and not be engrossed in homework (as my friends and fam know typically happens…) All this while I plan to be training for the upcoming track season (don’t worry Scott. ;D ). Might be running in some pretty tiny circles– as long as its in a safe place. That’s pretty much it, but follow along with me for lots of pics and updates on the adventure!
