Photos from Alaska

Although it's not very on my way to Africa, I made a stop over in Alaska to visit my brother and his family who I haven't seen in 3 years. Here's a few pics from my visit!

On my way

I was farewelled by friends and family at Auckland airport on Thursday the 22nd of January. It's hard to believe that this is it, the start of my big adventure. A childhood dream is coming true, and my life is changing dramatically, in what I believe is God's call for me at this time. I am writing from below freezing temperatures in Anchorage, Alaska, where I am spending a week with my brother and his family, before heading to the big African continent. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers, the sense of support I've received has been amazing.
