3 weeks till we go...

Hello friends!
Things are coming together nicely. My visa arrived early, my sister & brother-in-law got me "The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Travel", and I found the kind of mosquito net I need! We're just hoping that last one will arrive in time.
For now, I'm working on seminary applications and visiting with family a LOT :) We're driving up to Indiana the day after Christmas for more of the same, with more family, and hoping that we don't encounter too much snow.
I have now shown everyone in my immediate family pictures from Cape Coast, Ghana, and let my Sunday School class (though I rarely see them, they're awesome people) know that I'll be gone. Most of the people in both of my churches are aware now, I think. Now I need to ask them about going to CCC this year...
It is also becoming all the more obvious that a trip to Greensboro would be a great idea. I had a dream about seeing people like Matt Reed & Sylvia in the caf, and many other interesting things. I should be at school sometime early during the week of the 7th, though I don't know what club meetings I'll catch, and maybe I can stay on someone's couch?
Anyway! Everything's fine, I'm looking forward to my trip, and I'm leaving on January 14th (from here in the morning, eventually flying out of the DC area). Wish me luck on finishing those apps!
thanks for caring ^_^
