Habari za mchana! (Good afternoon!)


Sept. 1, 09
Mom, Corbin, and I have been doing a lot shopping recently. It is amazing how much we need to get still! There is a part of me that wonders how we will ever find everything that we are supposed to take!! This has given me more appreciation for what the missionarys must go through....knowing that they will be gone for awhile and knowing that they won't be able to find all these "conveniences" over in the other country.

We are almost done with the major packing. We have 6 big containers that we will take with us, plus 4 smaller carryons. The big containers have to be under 50 lbs when they are fully loaded, which may seem like a lot will fit in there, but when you get your clothes, shoes, snacks, and books, the weight adds up very quickly!!

I thought that the knowledge that I would be leaving soon had fully sunk in. But now as it is getting closer, I will think to myself, "in two weeks we will be in Dar Es Salem shopping,"
and I still am surprised that it is coming up this fast!

Kwa heri!! (Good bye)
