You would think that life would be extremely busy for someone who is leaving the country for six weeks in less than a month. Surprisingly, I have found that not to be the case. While I do have things to do, such as work on learning a little of the language, make sure I have bought everything on my shopping list, meet with Abba, and other small odds and ends, I don't feel stressed or overwhelmed. I'm waiting for those feelings to come, because I know they will, but they haven't come yet. I think it is kind of like the calm before the storm. I'll probably be heading to the airport and everything will hit me at once. I'll realize I'm not prepared to go on a trip like this, and I'll probably freak out. Until then though, I am enjoying the excitment of everything. I have never been over seas, so this is a very new experience for me. I know you have all probably heard this a thousand times, but please pray for us. We are going to need it. especially me. :)
