mission preppin

so the countdown begins! exactly four weeks from today I'll be on a plane heading to Sao Paulo, Brazil.

People keep asking me how I feel, and honestly. . . I don't know how I feel! Time seems to be moving so fast, yet so incredibly slow. and sometimes life doesn't even seem real. This is my last week at home before I start EFY on Monday and there is still lots to do!

To do: 

cut my hair 

call the bank to cancel my credit card 

take the music off my ipod and upload church music 

get my HepA and yellow fever shots

pick up my malaria pills 

take my typhoid pills

go to the dentist 

buy toiletries 

pack my suitcase

write my farewell talk

order new contacts

learn some Portuguese words (try at least)

and sewing well, that's mostly my dear mother's job 

and I'm sure there are another million things I'm forgetting. It's coming up so soon! I can't believe it.

In the meantime, I have been. . .

sleepin in 

 watching my favorite movies

 being with/talking to my best friends & family

 eating American junk food & candy 

soakin up the rare sunshine

going to institute/YSA activities

listening to some of my new faves like "wide awake" & "fine by me"

& living it up!
oh. . .and of course reading the scriptures and studying Preach My Gospel :)
