6 days and counting

In 6 days I will be on my way to Paraguay. Right now I am feeling both a mixture of excitment and nervousness - which people keep telling me is normal. I don't think that I have come to the total realization yet that I am going to Paraguay for 10 months, and I probably won't fully realize it until I am standing on Paraguayan soil. I keep asking why am I here? Why not at home in my normal house, with my normal routine. The only answer I keep coming up with is God. Only he truly knows the plans he has for me and what I am going to encounter over the next 10 months. He has guided me through this first month of orientation, and will be with me for the next 10. The pastor at the church I attended yesterday preached on Psalm 91 - this passage is one I know I will be looking at frequently as I embark on this new adventure.

I thank everyone for their prayers so far and will continue to appreciate them over the coming months ahead!
