So as I prepare to leave for training camp this Saturday (yay!), I have decided that it is probably time to write my first blog. First of all, I am not a blogger. I have never been one to write in journals (I will buy cool looking journals in hopes that I will magically turn into a ‘journaler’ but it never works) but here goes nothing.
I am still pretty in shock that in just 2 1/2 months I will be leaving for 11 months to become a missionary around the world. It hit me last night when I was at Dicks Supporting Goods buying some shorts to wear on the race and I asked what their return policy was. When she said the typical ’90 days with reciept’ I thought okay good 90 days, that’s a lot of time, but then I realized that I won’t even be in the States in 90 days, CRAZY! I still have sooo much to do before I can leave. I’m not sure of the exact date of departure yet but if we leave January 1st then I only have 79 more days to prepare! In those 79 days I will have to:
– find a new roommate to fill my spot
– my church & small group ‘family’
-my wardrobe, wearing the same 10 shirts & 2 pants for 11 months might get old– spell check, I use it way too often and our blogs don’t have spell check so I apologize now for any misspellings!
There is a lot to do before I leave for the World Race and there is a lot that I will miss while I gone, but it will all be worth it because I am following God’s call! This
