So close!

I cannot believe how close I am to going to Tanzania. Over a year ago I registered for the class and now...it is five days away! It almost seems surreal.

I have set a table up in my room and have put everything that I need to bring with me on the table. Oh my goodness is there a lot of stuff! And of course I am a horrible packer. I usually start a few days in advance but then get frustrated, put it off for a few more days, until it ends up being midnight the night before I leave and I finally tackle it. My goal is to be totally packed by Saturday night so on Sunday I can just go to Church, load up the car, and head back to Wartburg.

I haven't read the article yet, but apparently there is an article about Tanzania in the Papillion Times. I am anxiously waiting for our newspaper to come so I can read it! How crazy is it that the week I leave for Tanzania there is an article in my hometown newspaper. It must be a God thing. :D

This is going to be such an eye opening experience. It is still so hard to believe that in 5 days I will be on my way to another country! To another continent! So exciting! I don't even have words to describe it.

While I'm there I will try to update this as much as I can! And I promise I will have tons of stories to share when I come back! Thanks for all the support, thoughts, and prayers!
