Since my last post, Guinea was cancelled and I was given an invitation to Madagascar. In early December I accepted and I will be leaving on February 27th. There is no doubt that Madagascar will be a safer place to serve and I was actually very excited about the location when I found out. Don't get me wrong, I'm still very excited, but everyday I jump back and forth. In the same day I can think this is definitely the right decision for me then my emotions will take over. I start thinking about how much I will miss all of the close people in my life, and in a temporary freak-out I think I can't go. I still have a month to prepare, and I'm sure I will tie up all of the loose ends.
So, my packing list has changed from the one I posted in November, but I haven't actually made a new one. I know I won't, because that took too much time. I have been going to random stores and just picking up little things. Every place I go I mean to buy everything I need but I start prioritizing (kinda) and decide it can wait. How long can I keep doing that???
I figured I should start posting more regularly and I promise I will take tons of pictures and post them here (dad) otherwise I would be in trouble.
Anyway, I know this is a totally random post, but I'm just trying to cover a few bases.
