The eve before my trip.

Well, it is currently 10:45 pm and i need to get up around 3am.  HMMMM.....well, I am finishing some stuff for the lessons that I will be teaching.  This past week I have spent a lot of time trying to balance cleaning, packing, and hanging out with friends. I've tried to squeeze in as many visits with friends as possible.  Tonight while I was at a friends house enjoying my favorite dish that she makes I started to feel a little stressed knowing what I needed to do once i got home. Well, when I got home I worked hard for an hour or so and I got most of my list completed. I feel a lot better and feel like I am focused now and ready to go. It's been hard to actually think I am leaving because I've been doing other stuff and meeting with people up until the trip. :)

This past week we had our team packing meeting and got last minute stuff done. My team is already on their way and I will be joining them shortly. Please remember to pray for us while we are gone. Please remember to pray for energy, strength and patience with each other. I'm nervous about teaching english without knowing any of the language. I've gotten use to knowing the language that the kids speak to me that I'm worried for being in that setting again :). Please feel free to check this blog as I will try to periodically update it.  Here is my team....yes that's me on the ipad facetiming in for the meeting! I can't believe how technology helps connect us is awesome ways!
