The strength to do what is right, the willpower to get it all done. The commitment of time and fortitude. The endurance to get through the tough times, and the wisdom to recognize the good in all. The knowledge to work through any problems I come across, and the understanding of how they arise.
Well I've made it to Philly for the night. Staging was all day today and we talked about our expectations and our worries for the next two years. The most important part is I've met some amazing people. We've all been through similar processes, and it's like we have some unspoken connection that we share. Tomorrow we fly out of JFK at 6pm for our first 8 hour flight to Europe. We will finally touch down in Kenya after another 8 hours and the reality will hit many of us for the first time. I'm just excited now, talking about our jobs and the training we'll receive for it. The tinge of nervousness comes and goes, but overall we're excited. I won't be able to check email/update for a week or so, but I want to you to know that I am very happy. This journey would be such a struggle if it were not for my network of family and friend's support, especially this past week. Thank you to all who have helped me in your own special way!!
Love to all

It was so wonderful to see you and spend time with you on your last few days here. I'm so happy and excited for you and your adventures! Can't wait to hear how your first impressions of Kenya are.
