The Day Before I Leave
I'm so nervous. My stomach was upset earlier. I got to spend the day with Jimmy, & it was very hard to say goodbye to him.
My parents & I ate hamburgers for dinner. Well, they were really turkeyburgers, & my last taste of America for a while. Afterwords, we played Scrabble.
I'm so scared & nervous & excited about this trip. This is something I always hear others talk about. It's going to be life-changing, I know. I pray God will move mountails within me. I know I've got a lot of people here at home praying for me, & that's so comforting.
It was difficult to say good night to my parents, knowing it was the last time until next Sunday. I feel badly, but I'll be counting down teh days until I get back.
The hardest thing tonight was hanging up with Jimmy. He's so worried about the trip. I know I comforted him, though, when I told him that Nicaragua is in Central America, not Africa. He was relieved to know that I'd be on the same contenent & in the same hemisphere (barely).
I'm sad to say goodbye to my guitar, my car, electricity, cleanliness, & air conditioning. But I kow it's temporary & totally worth it.
I'm still nervous.
