His plane to Ethiopia left this morning at 11. We sent a few Facebook messages back and forth this morning before I had class. I'm trying my best to keep in the supportive mindset and not think about how he's going to be 7,401 miles away for the next 2 years and 3 months. I'm trying to not think about the 7 hour time difference. I'm trying to keep thinking about how he's taking this time out of his life to help people he doesn't know. He's making a difference like many of his role models have done in their lives. He's not on the scale of Martin Luther King Jr or Mahatma Ghandi. He's making an impact on a smaller scale to the rest of the world, but for those kids he's going to be like a saviour. He's going to be someone who helps them when they thought no one could. (I'm not sure if it's nearly that dramatic but you know). I don't know when I'll hear from him next but I know I can't wait.
