I'm leaving tomorrow, so here are a few final comments before I get on the plane which leaves at 5:35 am (!):
My goal is to post something here at least twice a week. Depending on activities and how much time I have it may be more often, but I'm going to try as hard as I can to write at least twice a week so that you all don't worry too much (yes, I'm talking especially to you Mom and Grandma).
I know you are out there reading my blog, so PLEASE let me here from you! It makes it easier for me to write if I know who is reading and what you think of what you are reading. I especially appreciate the positive feedback I've gotten so far! I would also like to hear what's going on at home so I don't feel so far away. So leave me some comments on the blog or send me an email or Facebook me.
You may have also noted that I have created a page with prayer requests. The link to it is on the upper right side of my blog. I'll be updating it as necessary during my trip. I would VERY much appreciate your prayers!
I'm pretty much all packed- it sure has been a long process trying to get everything together. Hopefully I'm not forgetting anything. I have half a pharmacy in my suitcase and I have all the essentials- passport, money, anti-malaria medicine, my bible, duct tape, and peanut butter. So, I think I should be good.
I'm feeling much more calm and collected than I have in this past week and I think I'm ready for the adventures to come. It is with great excitement that I can say: the next post will be from El Salvador!!!!!!!
