Let the Adventure Begin!

Upon several requests, I have decided that starting a blog is a rad idea to keep people connected to the ministry the Lord is leading me to become apart of in Japan. I am just 2 days away from my departure date and can't believe how fast it has arrived. A wave of emotions has already swept over me quite intensely this past week, but the Lord has revealed His faithfulness and love. I have had a GREAT summer of traveling (Africa, wahoo!) and spending time with amazing friends (Hide n' Go seek in Target is high on the list!). But now it's time for a new chapter in my life to begin and I will faithfully step out and experience the Lord in new ways. As scary as this is, I am excited for the new adventures that await. I mean, if I can bungee off a 400 foot bridge in Africa then I can certainly take a leap into the depths of a new country!! WAHOO!! I greatly covet your prayers and thank you for partnering with me on this journey. " To all my nieghbors who got much flavor, this is how we do it!"

And you KNOW you better update this thing because I will be keeping it on an RSS feed.... we love you, Kelli! Are you sure you have to leave??? Just kidding, we're so happy for you. It's just not real yet. It will be real when I realize I don't get to see you again for a few months...

I will miss you terribly, Kelli.

Hi everyone. I just received a call from Kelli SHE MADE IT>>>
She did not sleep on the plane and it is 10pm there. She does not have internet access in the apt yet so wanted you all to know she will get out to an internet cafe soon.(after some sleep).. Also she will need to get new calling card as the ones she took won't work there. Thank you all for your prayers. Marcia
