Thanks to Trayte Peters for organizing a wonderful send-off for Claire Marin and her friends!
As friends arrived they were invited to sign a t-shirt for Claire, sign a picture mat and fill out a form with their contact information and questions they have about Malawi. And Trayte has already delivered the finished t-shirt, group picture in the frame and a book of all their contact information. What a beautiful and fun way to remember, celebrate and stay in touch with friends from Nashville!
Claire Marin will have to write in her own words how she is feeling, but I will share one brief story… As I put her to bed one night this week, I asked her how she was doing. “I just want to go!” she said. I commiserated that this is a difficult part of the journey, assuming that she was sad and tired of good-byes. But she responded, “Yeah, and it’s BORING.”
So, we are all ready for our grand adventure to begin!
Thanks to everyone who is sending us off well.
