Tomorrow!

This is it I guess. I leave tomorrow so I finally needed to set up a blog, so here goes. I leave tomorrow for Pennsylvania where I will spend a week at the headquarters of the Mennonite Central Committee at the orientation for all SALT(Serving and Learning Together) volunteers. SALT is the one-year young adult program that I am going to Kenya through, and you may already know this if you are reading this, but I am going to be living and working at Hope in Central Kenya as an English teacher and youth worker. You can check out their website on my link list, as well as that of MCC and SALT.

Then, on August 19 I will be flying to Nairobi where I will have two weeks of intensive Swahili instruction before heading to Hope. That's the plan, and in the meantime I get to check and recheck my packing while hoping I didn't forget anything irreplaceable, but I have my passport for sure, so I should be ok. It is very exciting to finally be going, but also a little unreal. Please do not have this only be a one-way means of communication where you find out what is happening in my life and in Kenya. I would love email, or letters, while I am there.

Anyways, I will write more later when I am actually in Pennsylvania or Kenya and am a little less distracted. Let me say though that I truly appreciate all the support and prayers over the last few months of preparing.
