a few hours and tons of excitment

11 hours 3 minutes and 42 seconds
until I actually technically leave. I can't explain how excited I am to go and make tons of new friends and travel for this. So many planes, different foods, experiences...ahh...the excitement. surprisingly i don't have any jitters or nervousness yet. my stomach isn't doing flops..maybe it will once we get to the airport i think we are planning to leave in like an hour so we have plenty of time.
we had an awesome church service this morning, and the pastors came up and prayer for me... i i can't thank everyone enough for all the prayer support and financial support for my trip and my health :)
i think that i have computer access when i get down there...so i should be updating this. i need to go and collect all my luggage.
So Long for now...have a wonderful 2 weeks.

well...

So as I am writing this it is 11:22 P.M, and there is 3 days 0 hours 37 minutes and 2 seconds until I leave on an Air Canada flight to Miami, Flordia to meet over 400 other teenages who have are set in the same mind-frame that I am in. To go out and do God's work.

Today has been an exhausting long day. I'm talking from 9:30 (morning) to 10:30 at night just going and going and not really ever stopping except for supper at grandma's (which was de-lish by the way) So i'm not quite sure why I'm writing this now, but with only 3 days to go i figured people maybe wanted an update. today we got the majority of my stuff with only a couple items to go...which is such a relief. I mean nothing is in suitcases yet, but everythiing is bought and in my hands. Today my book order (how to get ready for short-term missions by anne-geri fann) also came in. Now i know its a bit late to start ready on how to prepare your-self in different ways, but i still have time and lots of flying hours i guess. i will start reading tonight maybe...not...way to tired.
My testimony is ...ummm....still the same as the last time you read about it sooo...i know! i'm getting to it. I'm going to type it out...and then see how it is.
I've actually met up (for more then 5 minutes) and talked to Ashley (and her parents), and discovered i'll love hangin with her. she's one of the 4 girls I'm flying with and I'm so uber excited to meet the rest of them. Before we fly off we (families and girls) are all meeting at a restaurant to meet, which will be so cool.
Anywho, it is late, i'm tired, and have much on the mind. I best be going. so long.
