I have three full days left until my team leaves for Paraguay. I write this with a sense of enormous excitement as the anticipation has been building for almost a half a year. I am also incredibly nervous. These next few days could quite possibly be the most stretching days of my life so far.
My greatest fear is the language. I have been working on a few phrases here and there but I wouldnt say that I "hablo espanol". But people have told me many times that it will come fairly quickly and that communication is much deeper than just the words I say. I'm going to do my best and hope that my host family appreciates that. Another one of my worries is that I am going to offend someone because I dont completely understand the culture, but I think that people down there will be patient with me.
I plan on spending the next few days collecting myself and spending time with everyone that I have grown close to over the past month. I have had an incredible time in Chicago, but I am ready to move on and see what God has planned for my life. Thank you for all of the prayers and I miss you all very much.
