Tomorrow...
It is now the eve of my departure. My bags are packed and I think I have everything I'll be needing for the next year. Although the goodbyes are difficult, I am truly excited for the adventure on which I am about to embark. I will be flying to Chicago tomorrow morning for a week-long orientation with 49 other young adults who are preparing to serve around the world. Next Wednesday, I will be departing with the 9 others that will be serving in South Africa for the next year. Our route takes us from Chicago to Frankfurt, Germany and then on to Johannesburg, putting us there in the morning on August 28th. I will do my best to keep everyone updated on this blog. I love you all.
