Back Home

It has been a week and a half since camp has been over, but it feels like quite a bit longer since seeing many of the people I grew close to over this summer. My trip home was quite eventful and took several hours longer than I anticipated and my father and I got in at 4:30 in the morning. Four hours later I was speaking at Mercer Island Covenant, it was difficult in some ways it reminded me of several late nights in college writing and reading all night long and then presenting whatever I'd written in class. It has been nice to be home and relax but now I have a lot of footwork to do before Africa. I got four shots on Monday, and may have to get a few more. My letters have gone out, and I will begin with some personal meetings in the next week or so.
I've also had a chance to catch up with one of my roommates from the past year since I've been back. He lives not too far from me so it has been nice seeing him and finding out what he's been up to this summer. Most of my friends have gone back to school already and it is kind of weird for me to think that classes are going on at North Park and I'm not in there. Anyway, my trip seems like it is becoming more and more of a reality which is both exciting and scary. Until then I'm just trying to balance enjoying life seeing people, and finish raising support for my trip. This trip is coming sooner than I can imagine.
