Here I sit, a mere four days from boarding a plane to begin my life in Honduras. My living room is a mess, there are clothes thrown about, shampoo bottles are scattered about, and there are dozens of books that need to be packed. I thought that 6 suitcases could be enough... now you might have read that and thought to yourself 6?!?!?!?! Let's just take a moment to realize that I am packing for a whole year, taking all of my classroom decor with me, and medicines and toiletries that I might need while I am away from home.
So while I have been getting ready, I have gone through a mess of emotions. I will be so happy and looking forward to everything one second, and the next I am crying from sadness. Its been an interesting time. This next year could be one of the hardest I have ever had, and coming from three years of knee surgeries and recovery, I am sure you can imagine how difficult I am expecting this upcoming year to be.
With that being said, I am also so excited for this year! I discovered on Sunday that I will be teaching the 5 year old class at Eternity Christian School. It is exciting! I am going to be teaching little kids! And since I am a kid at heart, this is perfection. I have wonderful decorations for my classroom, but I would love more! I hope to have stations for them to play at, books for them to read and fun things to teach them. If you have any of these and would like to donate them, I would love to take some down with me when I return after Christmas break.
I am really looking forward to spending my time in Honduras with my mom! I have wanted her to visit Honduras since I first came home. She is going to fall in love with the country and she will love the presence of God that can be felt all around. She will love the people as much as I do.
I love that my parents have put their trust in God and have released me into his care.
Here I come Honduras, I hope you are ready because it is going to be a crazy year!
