Leaving the house this morning was quite surreal. We have played this day over in our head so many times and we can’t believe that we are actually on our way to Kazakhstan. My Mom and Dad picked us up this morning and we had lunch, said our emotional goodbyes, and are now writing this post as we wait at our gate. Our first flight is to Frankfurt, Germany and then, after a three hour layover, we’ll be on another 6 hour flight to Almaty, Kazakhstan. After spending the night in Almaty, we’ll be taking a short flight to Pavlodar, which is where we will be for the remainder or our trip. Keep the prayers coming. We are excited beyond belief!
