Wow, I'm scared. I leave for Pennsylvania on Saturday. That only leaves me 3 more days here in Canada with my family. I keep wondering if I'm actually, really truely, going to Bolivia.
I feel different from all the other SALTers - more unprepared. But I suppose that's not a fair assumption since I don't know what experiences the other SALTers have had overseas. I've never been overseas before. Not even for a week-long missions to Mexico. I really have no idea what to expect from Bolivian culture. I don't understand much Spanish, either. I know a few phrases and words, but not much at all. That's also very frightening for me. I have been away from my family before... when I'm off at college, but I've always had my twin with me. Now I'm going somewhere by myself. Whew... what an adventure!
Thank you so much to those who have been supporting me through donations and prayers. I really can't express how grateful I am! It means so much to know that there are people here who care so much for me... no matter where I am.
I could really use prayer for confidence and that I'd remember everything I need to do before I go. Also for my language studies and calmed nerves. Thank you, again!

Hey, Heidi! Sharon introduced us at VBS the other day, and I just wanted you to know that I will be praying for you, and I subscribed to your blog, so I will be reading regularly updates of your adventure! And by the way, your url doesn't sound arrogant, just obedient! :) Many many blessings on your adventure, Jen :)
Thank you very much for your prayers... and for your comment. :) It means a lot to know there are people who care about me and are praying for me.
