September: coffee shops | getting ready for Africa

Hi Friends!

These past few weeks have been such a whirlwind. We are still fighting with the internet company, which means that we still don't have internet, which makes updating this blog nice and tricky. Let's just say that coffee shops are being frequented.

I am currently in the midst of getting ready to leave to Liberia, Africa tomorrow - exciting adventures are in store for the next few weeks! My team has made a calendar for you to keep up to date with our trip and be able to pray for us as we travel - see below for details!

Road Trip!

And 1,435 miles later - I'm in Texas! I've been here just over a week and am still getting settled into my apartment and to work, but I had a fantastic road trip out here. My friend Brianna came with and we had some fantastic adventures. Like being stuck in traffic for hours, and seeing 43/50 U.S. License plates!  We started off from Washington D.C and took a day to drive on out to Nashville.

 In Nashville we stayed with our friend Lexie for a few days and helped her move into her new apartment! It was a moving week. She took us around Nashville and we went to some charming places! There is a restaurant called the Pfunky Griddle where the middle of the table is a griddle. They bring you batter and you cook your own food. Such a great experience! We went downtown Nashville, visited local coffee shops, and just took time to catch up.

After a great time in Nashville, it was time to start out on our Texas leg. We took a day to drive through the rest of Tennessee, Arkansas, and part of Texas! We made it safely to Texas and one of the first realizations we had was that Texans are really proud of their state. The first stop we made had a texas state shaped mirror in their bathroom - proudness, I tell ya. 

1,435 miles after we started driving from D.C, we made it to Plano, Texas and my apartment. This is the place I will be calling home for this next year. I have always wanted to live in a place that had a red front door and now I do! Cherish the little things, y'all.
