Hi Y'all,
It is a very hot and gross day here in Texas as I begin gathering things to pack for my journey in August. I only have 47 days left in Texas, and much too much to do. Shot records, birth certificate stuff, gathering clothes, buying school supplies like planners and sticky notes. It's a bit overwhelming.
Luckily I managed to find a babysitting job that leaves me several days off per week to get things done and prepared for my adventure. I just try to take it task by task and not do too much in one day. Tomorrow will be blood work and taking change from church offerings to the bank, and Friday will probably be getting a physical and sending thank you letters to the churches who have supported me thus far.
In a few weeks I will be off to Chicago for a week of training and learning about the ELCA's Global Mission programs. If I'm lucky I will be able to bit of sightseeing, but who knows. My goal is to not get lost and not to forget any paperwork. Anything beyond that is a blessing.
I thought I would have more to say by now but I really don't. I'm just excited for the future!
