Suzanne spent most of the summer training for her journeyman adventure in Africa for the next two years. At the end of her orientation, all the missionaries going out were given a commissioning service where family and loved ones could attend. This was where everything got "real" for me that my baby sis was about to move across the world to serve our Lord. Before the service the families were invited to attend a "meeting" where they pretty much encouraged us to lay everything out on the table before our missionary left the country. I was NOT mentally prepared to start saying good bye that day. I still had about 2 weeks left! It was so great to be able to see where Suz had spent her summer and meet the people she grew so close to in just a few short months. Imagine about 130 people who are all like minded spending the summer together. Suz had a blast and made friendships that will last forever. Love that!
