Plane Ticket: check

So it's official, according to D.  I have a plane ticket so it means that I am really going. 

84 days.

The date moved up from late August to mid July because of the shortage of OR nurses on board the ship.  It has been the biggest blessing to be able to go early because quite frankly I don't want to wait that long!  Mercy Ships is also helping out with some of the finances if I need it which takes the pressure off, but I am still going ahead with fundraising because I feel that's what I need to do.  What a journey this has been already.  It's been amazing to see God work through this whole preparation process.  Things usually turn out way beyond anything I could ever dream up, and this has been the case for going to Benin.
