In The Beginning

Outside the window of my second story room is a field so green, and beautiful trees. The birds and crickets are chirping and singing in a glorious symphony. The sea breeze blows through the house to cool you off just enough, it is perfect. 

I have only been here four hours and already I am beigging to fall in love with this culture and the people. They are so laid back. Their focus is not on the American definition of "success" but on peace. 

Tomorrow I will meet the local church we will be working with. I cannot tell you how excited I am to meet my brothers and sisters! I feel as if I am meeting distant cousins. I have yet to meet them but I already love them.

I look forward to sharing my journey with you and the adventures I will experience along the way.

  2. Samantha, you are in for one of the rarest treats you have probably ever experienced. You all will be in my prayers and thoughts. I will enjoy following your blog. I am sure the photography will be an added blessing for me to see as I already LOVE your talent in that area. Have a great time...and watch for all that God will want to teach you.
