Preparations

I didn't want my only post thus far to be regarding finances....I just have a whole checklist of items to do and I needed to get that one started.

So I am looking at a little over two months before leaving, and I have quite a few things to get done....physician's appointment, immunizations, buying all those small essentials like sunscreen and a mosquito net.  And then there is this overwhelming task of learning Spanish, or at least getting started on the basics.  Seeing how I am supposed to be translating for groups down there, and helping some of the kids with speech skills, I am trying to get a bit of a head-start so that they don't end up having Canadian accents!

And of course I am trying to pack as much time in with friends and family before I go, because this is the one thing I know I am going to miss!

So there is a little bit of an update.  It still feels a bit like a dream...like I'm not actually going, but I have a feeling that's going to end pretty quick.

Please pray for peace in the next little while, and continued trust and submission with all the preparation, both physically and mentally.
