Today is the Day?

-
If all goes according to plan, I should be getting the RV this afternoon.

I have to work all day, so I'm trying to do everything that I have to do to make this happen.



I am excited, but really just ready to get started. I do know that there are a couple of small things I have to fix, but until I inspect it closely, I won't know if I need to gut it and start over, or just rehab and beautify.

I'm so ready for this! Stay tuned!

I have been in Mozambique for three months now. I just finished my training and have sworn in as a Peace Corps volunteer. I have been keeping a journal since I arrived, but I have yet to blog about my experiences. When asked, I have had difficulty articulating my reasons.

To start, how does one honor a place like this? I want to convey the beauty and splendor of Mozambique, but I am here because there are very real challenges as well.

The decision to join the Peace Corps and go to Mozambique has been a deeply personal one, that has elicited conflicting responses from friends and family. I would be lying if I said that I have not had second and third thoughts about this. I am leaving my life for 27 months, and at this point, I am down to the final stages.

Blessings and Delays

I have been sitting in literal limbo for three weeks now.

I was all set to ship out to Mozambique when the last minute delay due to visa issues derailed everything. Since then, I have been trying to calculate my next steps.

This has been frustrating because I have already sold everything, and now find myself between homes and without a car. I have been blessed to have a friend who has generously allowed me the use of his spare vehicle, but this is only temporary.

Our next departure date is set for 6 days from now, and it looks like there may be another delay, yet I have no details.

I have been pulled between wanting to just cancel everything and hoping this would just hurry and happen. I know that I can stay, although I will need to get a new car. This means I will have new financial obligations and need to return to full-time work. I have no issue with this, but I do not want to make a commitment only to back out.

I have been balancing on the edge, unable to make informed decisions …
