Well, here I am again. It's been such a long time since I've blogged that it feels foreign now. In Palau I really wanted to share my experience with everyone back home, so they could feel the way I did. It almost seems like now that I'm back, I don't have a story to tell. BUT! This week I found out that I will be able to go to Belize on a short term mission trip over spring break! I am so excited, because ever since leaving Palau, I've been so excited about mission work.
We are going to get to go to an orphanage and help build some more rooms for the children We are also going to put on a VBS program. It's extra exciting for me because right now my friend Rachel is there doing six months of SMing, so I'll get a chance to see her which will be great! I'm worried because of the short notice I don't know if I'll be able to make enough money to pay for the trip. I will most likely be paying for most of it myself, but I still really want to go and help out.
It's funny how much I think about missions now that I'm home. Besides Belize, I want to go to India for a summer as well. I have so many plans to travel! I want to go to Europe to see Tami and Jeanine in two summers, and the summer after that I want to try to go to India. Traveling is really a disease.
Anyway, I'm here at Walla Walla right now just trying to survive. I'm taking this math class which is super hard, especially since I haven't taken math in four years. I also am in research writing which I know will start taking up a lot of my time. On the plus side, I have Austin here to support me. He's coming to Belize too! How crazy is that...two mission trips together. I just need to survive this quarter until spring break, and everything will be okay!
