Just as I had imagined ...
Well, I suppose it's a good thing I hadn't pictured myself living in Mexico first semester, because as I had hoped, I was just informed that I will be touring Canada first semester and living in Mexico second semester!
This simply means that my dear parents (and anybody else who would like to go somewhere warm) shall have to come visit me in Mexico on the March Break! :)
Please keep prayin!

Planning Stages
Dear Family and Friends,
Thanks for checking out my blog! I plan to use this site as a journey journal. I will hopefully post a new update daily (Lord willing) to keep everyone (especially Mom and Dad) up-to-date about my whereabouts!
To date, I still do not know which semester I will be spending where. I have to admit that I have sort been picturing it in my head in the order of Canada first semester, Mexico second semester .... But perhaps I'm just jumping to conclusions. Where ever God choses to place me will be more than perfect I'm sure.
The program co-ordinator told me that we should be finding out in the beginning of July which team we will be placed on, therefore, which semester I will be spending where.
Hopefully I get that email shortly!
7 weeks away!
