LEAVING TODAY!!!

So I am sitting in the Portland airporrt preparing to leave for Uganda today. We leave in only a few minutes and it is hard to believe that it is time. Both of my suitcases are 50 lbs each and I have all of my clothes in my carry-on. I also have a backpack so there is concern that I may not be able to take my backpack and carry-on in London. I am not worrying and just praying that God will take care of everything. God's blessing to all of you and I will write again when I get a chance.

1 WEEK!!!

So I am sitting at the Portland airport waiting to go see my little brother for a couple of days before I move next week to Uganda. As I was driving down here today I was realizing that my parents will be driving me down here in a week for me to move to Uganda. It was a weird feeling driving here today and thinking about that. I have mixed feelings about going. I am excited, nervous, and confused all at the same time. I am excited to finally be going over to Uganda and teach. I am also nervous at the same time because I am leaving all of my comforts here in America to go teach in a foreign country where I know very little about their schooling system. I am confused because I want to stay here in the states because I have become so connect to people here, but I want to go to Uganda where my heart is for the people. I am sure that I will continue to have mixed emotions but I know that God will be with me through everything.

2 WEEKS!!!

I leave in two weeks!!! It is hard to believe that it is almost here. I am busy finishing substituting for the school year. I finished at Wheatland Village last week, so my nights and weekends are free to work on things and spend some last time with people here in the area.

I have told some of you that I will be getting a cell phone so people can call me while I am there. The cool thing for me is that when people call me I am not charged for the minutes. I am only charged for the minutes when I call someone. It will be very expense for me to call, so it is up to everyone here to call me (but remember that I will be 10 hours ahead of you). I have found an awesome website where you can buy phone cards to call me for almost an hour for only $5! The website is http://www.uniontelecard.com/ and you then click on Crazy USA. The $5 card will allow you to call and talk to me for 54 minutes! I will let everyone know what my number is when I get it.

I pray that things are going well with everyone and I will write again before I leave. God's blessing!
