So it hit me last night as I was working on a support list in preparation to send out support letters (by the way prayer support is ALWAYS welcomed) that I am actually fulfilling this call that I have had for awhile. It is nice to see my parents supporting me in service. I was thinking about some of the possible challenges I will be facing and I thought of some such as washing my clothes by hand (due to lack of modern washing machines), overcoming a strong dislike for insects and some others that I am sure will come up. I was also thinking of my strengths for this trip. These include my fluency in the Spanish language, what I already know of Latin American culture and my flexibility. It will be interesting to see how one South American country compares to another (Colombia in comparison to Argentina). I am feeling a mix of emotions of anticipation, excitment, nervous and joy.
