brief update / 08.22.08, 11:54 AM
Since I haven’t updated this since my brief post a few months ago, I figure it’s time to get into the habit. I will be sending out postal letters to all of you soon; I’ve been putting it off until I had enough concrete, letter-worthy information to fill a page. So instead of writing all of that here, I’ll simply say that now that last year’s Mission Year groups have departed, preparations for our arrival are speeding up, and I’m extremely excited about the opportunities our group is going to be presented with. I’ll say more in the letters.
The lead-up to September 5 (our date of arrival in Philly) has been an interesting one for me. I can honestly say I’m not all that nervous; after all, I spent two months last summer in the capital city of a third world country on whose language I have only a meager grasp. Even though the time frame is considerably different, the thought of going to a strange place to do volunteer work is not unfamiliar. It’s still a little unnerving, though, and I suppose a little nervousness is healthy when going into an unknown place not without its share of dangers, both known and unknown. Please do keep me in your prayers.
Chances are I’m going to start philosophizing in these things as they continue, but I’ll spare you that for now—I really need to come up with a bombshell for the first one to drop on Tom.
