Just real quick because I am exhausted… I made it safely to Staging. Woo Hoo! There are 44 people going with me to Turkmenistan, a lot more than I expected but it is very cool. I have actually met 5 people from Michigan, which is totally random! I even fly out here with a guy from MI, that was cool. Overall Staging has been a blur of information and meeting new people, which I actually feel like I am doing really well with and branching out to meet new folks. That’s a big step for me because while I have a fun bubbly personality I am not that way until I get to know you better so kudos for me!
Staging did bring a bit of bad news tho… unfortunately internet is not easy to get in T-Stan so you may go a while hearing from me, no worries tho no news is good news. The blogs I post will actually be really long because I am going to try and pre-write them before posting them. Odds are I won’t be able to update more than once or twice a month so keep checking. OK I am off for now, tomorrow is going to be a long one. Know that I love you and will be missing you all dearly!
Off to Turkmenistan!
Its Monday morning here on the Florida beach and my thoughts and prayers are with you as you fly to your new adventure. I will check the site daily but realize it will be difficult to post often. Your personality will deliver many new friends and your God will diliver the safety and experiences of serving. There is a time for everything. Love GP
Happy travels! I am thinking about you today. And I wanted to let you know that I got my absentee ballot application in the mail today and I have filled it out and put the stamp on it. I will mail it out today
Sounds like picture of the week may turn into picture of the month! Love you!
