So now that this trip has become a little more realistic I have 23 days to get my stuff together. Packing everything, learning some spanish, writing my testimony, finishing fundraising, there is really tons to do. for some good news...
- I recieved my t-shirt that i'll be wearing when I get off the plane in Miami, it has this bird type animal on it with some plants and the shirt is an oragne-y/yellow color. Its quite beautiful in it's own special way! :)
- I also recieved the team lists, so I am on TEAM 6 and I know exactly who's on my team! It appears that there is like 5 or 6 people from Canada and 41 people in total. This was very exciting to recieve.
- thirdly i also recieved my costume assignment, which is a MIME. the costume is for the evengestical skit we will mainly be doing. This is what we will be practicing and rehersing in Miami when we arrive. Technically I may not be the mime, i may play a different part, but this is the costume I need to get. whoo!!
- i recieved an e-mail from my team leaders and they sound like very wonderful people.
- I met Ashley, one of the 4 girls i'm flying with to Miami at YC Alberta 2009 which was also uber exciting. I'm so excited and rready to get to know these girls and make new friends!
So that about sums up the new news....um.. besides being super busy with preperation for my trip, I have a couple of medical appointments this month. just an update...my doctors have a-okayed my trip and my MRI results showed that I have 2 new 'enhancing' lesions, and the other older ones, have decreased which is good. that's about all on the medical front.
the garage sale we are planning (the funds will go to my trip) is still in the air for a date. Everything is so busy i dont' have a clue when to do it. it just may happen >after my trip:)
donations are still coming in...and I'm so thankful for that. so much prayer and support is really....i don't really know how to describe it. overwhelmingly wonderful?
So the main focus for this weekend it getting my suitcase out and starting to go through my packing list. the packing list is rather long, and we do have the option to bring gifts for the kids down in guatemala city everything has to fit into 2 carry-ons and a 5o pound suitcase. yikes.
