Ta-Da!

After many years of fighting it, I have finally started a blog. :) This is to keep family, friends and supporters updated on how things are going while I STINT in Germany. I leave in two weeks (Sept. 12th to be exact) and I'm virtually finished raising my financial support - praise God! Last week I returned from Colorado where we had our briefing which was a really amazing experience and I got to meet most of my team for the first time. Many STINTers left straight from Denver to go to their assignment. I'm really grateful that I could come home for a few weeks before leaving. Not that I've been home much in the past week. I left for Syracuse almost as soon as I got back to PA to see some friends once more. It was definitely strange being back on campus and knowing I'm not a student, but I had a really good time. And then, just a day and a half after I drove back home, I flew to Cleveland (where I type this now). Maybe it's because I can't seem to stop traveling, but time is really flying by and I'll be in Berlin before I know it. So exciting! After a long summer of raising support it's easy to wonder if the time would ever come, but here it is! Only two more weeks!
