My Plane Leaves in About 24 Hours!

Today I spent most of the day packing. Who knew that I would need so much stuff! My mom and I each have one large suitcase to check, one small suitcase as our carry-on, and a large bag/purse. Each suitcase has about two or three space bags as well, with clothes and towels squished down for more space. Tomorrow night, we will head to the airport around 6:15, arriving at about 7:15. Our flight leaves around 9:30, and we arrive in New York at about 6 in the morning, on June 24th. We then have a five hour layover in New York - which I am excited about :) - and then we head out for our sixteen hour flight to South Africa. After we arrive in South Africa, we fly for two hours to Windhoek, Namibia. These past few days have been stressful because I have been put "in charge" of quite a few things for this trip. I was originally supposed to create a puppet show and a skit/drama for our Holiday Club. I was also then asked to speak to the teen girls at our Teens of Value conference about peer pressure.
At our TOV conference, the main focus of the event will be sex outside of marriage, how to prevent it, and what the consequences are. I have been asked to speak with the girls for about ten minutes about the peer pressures they face in school, and how God can help them make it through these tough times. I was and still am nervous about this, not because I have to speak in front of people, but because I don't know what to say! I am worried about creating examples that I can relate to, but also that the teen girls I speak with can relate to. Honestly, I have never felt pressured to have sex, so I can't use this as an example that I have experience with, and for all I know, the things that I have been pressured to do, they have not. But I will be speaking with Pearl, who is Pastor Tresford's seventeen year old daughter when I get there. I am so excited to meet her and to speak with her about what their lives are like in Namibia, because I know they will be different - and yet similar - to what I experience here.
It is hard to believe that I will be leaving tomorrow night. I feel like I am ready and so eager to go, but I am worried that I am not ready! I know that this will such an amazing experience, and I can't wait. I would greatly appreciate your prayers and support, especially for our flights, and for my talk with the girls at our TOV conference. This may be my last post before we leave, so I hope that my team and myself will be in your thoughts for the next three weeks. I can't wait to return and share my adventures with you!
