life

sometimes i dont realize how much i miss being home until i have time to think. but i do miss home, i miss my family, i miss my bed, i miss driving and the friends that would be in my car while driving. i miss being able to decide what i was having to eat ( its cafeteria style here ) i miss privacy. all these things that im thinking about im not going to have for a whole year. sometimes i wonder why in the world God called me to this life of the unexpected. its an amazing thing, to have a goal that God has set for you but its also scary because im not really sure as to when this part of my life will be over. so much is changing around me. dont get me wrong, im completely ecstatic that God has called me to africa its just a transition. my gateway class leaves for the dominican republic in a couple of days, we will be there for 17 days so im just praying that God will reveal himself in that amount of time through us. we are bringing medical supplies and bibles and also tooth brushes and toothpaste. its been a real challenge to get everything in 5o pound trunks and not take to much. we are going to expand upon the school cafeteria because they feed the children there for free which is a really awesome thing but they want to fit more children so we are trying to build onto it. we are also going to perform some skits that one of the gateway members has made up and has been translated into spanish. im really hoping that the message comes across clear for the kids. im really excited to go and just build relationships there. well i guess ive come to a ending because i really dont think i have anymore to say.
