I don't like being left out. I don't like missing things.
I anticipate this will be one of the hardest things about leaving to go to Africa. I am definitely going to miss things going on back home. Friends are going to hang out, family will celebrate Christmas and New Years, and I will not be there.
I think the aspect that scares me the most though, is that while I am gone, people might move on with their lives (which is completely expected) and when I get back, things will be different. Relationships that I have with people might change or end and new relationships between people might start while I am away, and that could change the relationships that I have. And I don't want things to change. Or really, I should say, I don't want things to change for the worse or that might leave me out of the equation.
I don't really know how to end this thought...because it is a legitimate fear that I have.
Is this another thing I should be trusting God with? The answer is a resounding yes.
But I still don't want things to change.

You will be missed as well and plus you're going to have so many wonderful stories about that people that you've met and things you've done and i know for sure that i can't wait to hear ALL of them :)
Love you! See you soon!
Rach! We can't forget you! You're one of the core group of us-ness! And lets be serious...Nick goes away all the time and we still love him. We still love Will and he's never around. People still love Kev and I (I think? lol) and we're away for a full year!! Of course things are gonna change but you'll still be in the loop. :D
