Before I Fall off the Face of the Earth...

I just wanted to drop you all this note to bid you farewell before I head off into the countryside for a week. I'll be staying with a family in the rural of Uganda in order to get a picture of what that lifestyle is like since right now I live more in what is considered the city. I'm sure there will be many stories following it so be looking for that to be posted soon after. Kurty is pumped because she feels like she' going home and she's done such a good job converting me from the suburban individual I once was into one who can't wait to embrace country living at every opportunity that I'm super pumped as well. I feel like my 10 years of living at a summer camp has tainted any city-ness I may have and allows me to say that I'm not completely through and through one of those "city folk." Well, either way I'm excited!

The other day I received a package from my dad and opened it to find the best surprise in the whole wide world for me at this point. He had put to DVD a Vikings game so I could watch my favorite sport that I miss so very much! I almost started crying when I started playing it and heard the music! Oh how glorious it was! Dad, that was the best surprise ever! I haven't yet finished it, but it's like a little treat every day :) Now if only someone could send me sweatpants and fall weather in a package! And while there at it stick my family in there too! :)

I am so appreciative of all your prayers and I would appreciate them for this coming week as well. So this is me signing off until November!!! Enjoy Halloween for me!!
