Preparation

     Less than 3 full days until my departure.  I've said most of my "good-byes" already, and each one has been more difficult than the one before.  I'm not scared of this trip.  On the contrary, I'm excited and still slightly in shock that I've been called to serve God in such a way!  I've heard a rough work schedule for my time on the ranch.  I'll teach English to a group of 7 children in the mornings, and twice a week I'll be in charge of a bilingual kindergarten class for two of the girls.  The rest of the time, if I understand correctly, I'll be helping wherever I may be needed.

     As far as preparation, my suitcase is packed except for a couple of small items that I forgot were supposed to be in my checked luggage.  A huge thank-you to everyone who offered books for the children!  I have a second bag to check because of all the donations, and an extra 25.6lbs to juggle through customs.

     I appreciate any prayers for the Ranch, the Zaragoza family, the trip as a whole, and that God's will be done in these next 6 months.  If anyone wishes to make a donation to Fishers of Men Mexico, it would certainly be appreciated.

Thank-you everyone, and I'll write again when I'm safely in my new home!
