We leave TOMORROW!!

Hello All!
I have decided to sacrifice my early sleep to update you all before we fly off tomorrow, I'm also not tired, be it from excitement or the fact that it's only 10:10! The past two days have been jam packed. We have been learning so much about eachother and about ourselves and about our God. He is so incredible and has been working in us in amazing ways. I'm currently listening to the beat of an African drum in the background and it is reminding me that in less than 24 hours we will be on a plane to DR Congo! Wow!
We did a foot-washing yesterday, based from Christ's example when he washes his disciples feet. Can you imagine having the greatest King and Lord who ever lived bending down to wash your dirty feet and serve you? It was something that really bonded our team, as we spoke words of encouragement to one another and prayed over each other!
We are so blessed by the great community that we have in our team. For the comfort that we feel with one another, that we really have a dependence on one another and God in directing our team. We're excited to experience the airport, did I say excited? I meant slightly terrified, for me at least.
We were blessed the past few days to have Paul and Carianne by our side just encouraging us and coaching us and teaching us. Without them I'm sure that we would not be as relaxed and excited as we are now! We hope that we are able to bless their friends that they have made there and really reach out to the people that they love in an awesome way!
Personally I'm so excited to get the chance to meet the people we've been hearing sooo much about. Especially Jean-Baptiste, he seems like such a warm and caring man. We've heard so much about him and his laugh at times it seems like we have already met him.
I'm not sure when we will get the chance to next update you, but don't worry we are safe in our Fathers arms!
Joyfully,
Alysha
