And here...we...go!

I'm off to Uganda in less than a week now! Can you believe it? I sure can't! It feels like just yesterday I was sitting in my room, writing my first blog entry about how I had an entire year to go before I left for Africa, and wondering if I was even going to be accepted into the Suubi program through Light Gives Heat. It really is amazing how time flies! I've already graduated, gone to work at camp all summer, and taken my little side trip to Seattle! I can hardly wait to leave for my trip, but at the same time it is a little bitter sweet. I'm getting to go to a place I've only seen pictures of, a place I've dreamed of since I was twelve...and at the same time I am leaving the ones I love and all things familiar for three months. I know it's going to be utterly fantastic in every sense of the word, but also at times difficult. But I am so blessed to be able to go, and I just know that the people who's lives I will somehow seem to be touching, will move my heart so much more than I will even begin to move theirs...I can hardly wait. Have I mentioned that already? :)
