Although our flight is tomorrow morning, it still doesn't seem real that I am actually going overseas to South East Asia, in the '10/40 window'. The most traveling that I have done so far is to a few cities in the USA. I have never been in a foreign country, confronted with a totally different culture. North America, so far as sheltered me from the face of poverty, that I am sure to see in Cambodia.
By marrying Josh Duffy, I not only chose him for a life partner, but I also chose this life. Every piece of Josh's heart belongs in the third world. His favourite places are hospitals, prisons, dumps and slums. God's calling to Him and his experience in Africa,were like a 'second salvation'. He is a man who goes forward when others wouldn't and would sacrifice even more still, to advance the kingdom. It is a great honour and adventure, to minister alongside the man who I admire so much. As we set forth into the '10/40 window', my heart for missions beats, rapidly with his.
Today, Josh's grandfather gave us a ride into Halifax, Nova Scotia where we are staying at the Quality Inn, until we leave for the airport in the morning.
I truly enjoyed being able to spend more time with Josh's family, who is now my family. They have certainly put forth a labour of love, fundraising for us every chance they could get.
I don't expect to find anywhere else in Canada that I would consider as beautiful as the maritimes. In Cambodia, I think I will be amongst a new beauty.
Even as I write this, I grow more ecstatic about the work set before us. Wewill need the grace, mercy, peace and joy of God, like never before. We will need to be dedicated, people of His presence, like never before. May the Lord sweetly minister His intimate love to you.

The humbler the work, the greater should be your love and efficiency. Be not afraid of the life of sacrifice. -Mother Teresa
