My stomach is doing all kinds of workouts on its own. I'm not sure which emotions I am currently experiencing, but they are varied and often. I'm excited, of course, but I am also very nervous. I try and tell myself that it will be just like it is here except very cold and people will talk funny. (I will do my best to bring back some of the Scottish intonation, by the way.)
Today was spent preparing to go financially and getting clothes washed. I am very happy about the latter because I'm ready to be rid of this constant smell of cigarette. Today was nothing but boring although I did spend a great deal of time with my mother and my dog, Sandi Mae.
I would like to say that I will miss all of you guys tremendously while I am away. I will especially miss Discovery Church and my small group there. I hope to still communicate via this blog and some web-chat. I also want to say a little hello to all my friends at "guys night out" who are keeping some of my stuff safe while I'm gone. And to all my friends in Jenkins, I will miss you guys and I'm bummed I won't get to see the show happening right after I leave. To everyone else, I haven't seen you in a while anyway so two more months won't make any difference.
So now I'm off to bed so I can wake up early so I can hopefully sleep on the plane ride over there. thanks for all the support and finances from all of you.
Ian
