So some news and updates,
A few weeks ago I posted that there was some questioning about my site placement. I got a chance to talk to a missionary from Brazil and after a lot of prayer and recollection we hhave decided that Brazil would be a better place to send me than either Ethiopia or Rwanda. I am excited, I will be going with another Salesian, though we will likely not be working in the same sites, but it will be good to have the company. I will be working in te city of Porto Velho in the western Amazon regions of the country.
On Tuesday we got a private behind the scenes tour of of the United Nations, pretty awesome to be standing behind the podium where the Queen of England gave a speech a week ago. We also got behind the scenes in the security council chamber, it pays to know the security guards apparently.
There could is a lot more to say right now but my computer's battery is acting up so I have to cut it short. Suffice that the days are filled with running around with little kids and the nights are spent hanging out, planning, and keeping each other sane. I have now discovered that the hardest part of mission so far will be getting on the plane.
God bless you all.
That's so wonderful that you've figured out where you're going!!! I'm so excited for you. p.s. I got your message and will hopefully be calling you in the next couple of days to catch up :) You are amazing!
