3 Days Till Lift-Off!

Bonjour et Bienvenue!
Welcome to my blog!

This will probably be the best way for all of you guys to keep up to date on my adventures and stories in Benin!
So bookmark this address (http://jamieisinbenin.blogspot.com) because I will be updating it as often as possible!

I can't believe we are leaving in 3 days! So far, I've spent my day weighing all of my clothes and things I am bringing (hahaha). I definitely do not want to go over the bag weight limit because there is a huge expense to that! Eeek!

Wednesday morning is departure day, and then the long journey starts right off the bat!
We have the privilege (ya right!) of embarking on a 2-day travel plan till we arrive in Benin! We go from here through salt lake city, through paris, then in to Benin. Although it's going to be a long journey, I know we will have a blast, laughing constantly due to lack of sleep! Haha

I am so excited to get there, start experiencing this faith adventure and see what God unveils in Benin!
Please pray as we take flight and for:
- Safety
- Travel
- All to work once we arrive, so we can settle in quickly
- Smooth adapting to the culture
- Peace for us and our families
- All the financial elements to fall in place

Thank you so much for your prayers! Stay tuned for an update on the start of our adventure!
Good-Bye for now!
Au Revoir!
-Jamie
