Here we go

Ok just a quick update. We're off to the airport in less than an hour. I can hardly believe that I am leaving the United States tonight. Orientation was an amazing experience. I will write more about the past week when I get more time. We will be arriving in Johannesburg on Friday morning, where we will be greeted by our country coordinators. We will then spend about two weeks together as a group in Johannesburg and Pietermaritzburg learning about the culture, transportation, safety, and such. Then it is off to our individual sites, mine being in Soweto. I am both nervous and excited. This week has given my faith and self-confidence a much needed boost. This is really happening. I am leaving for South Africa tonight.
