Five More Weeks


Well Here we are just about five weeks from time to depart for Peru! I thought I would post some more details on the current events.
Last Sunday we had our first meeting and we have around 30 people signed up for the trip. The majority of us are women! Yep that's right, WOMEN!!!! God is really going to do a work!!!
We will depart on June 6 about and return on June 13Th.
While we are there we will provide a service project for the Orphanage and facilitate a Vacation Bible School.
This vacation Bible School project has got me a little nervous! I have never attended or participated in one and I know NOTHING about one!!!! This will be quite the adventure for me! LOL...
Most of my experience with children has been of the older age children not the little ones!!! I am excited for the adventure!!!

Recently I have been away from the home for Peru meetings or when I am home have been doing homework for an Esther study I have been a part of for the past ten weeks and so have not been able to spend as much time with the husband. He totally is supportive and understands that with just a few more weeks left I have to get ready! He is so sweet and has been sending me encouraging scriptures on my facebook note every few days!
I just know how he is feeling right now. Several times it has been me staying behind and watching him go places, like when he went to Africa in 2005, like everyone I knew and was connected to was gone on that trip! I felt so alone and disconnected from them. I was used to having constant communication with them all the time! I know Bill is already feeling the disconnection, I did weeks before the Africa team left as they were meeting and preparing so much for the trip. I helped as much as I could to be with them but it is not the same as being part of the team that is going!
I know all of this is random but I had to document it!!!!

Two of our team members, Amy D and Emily have been so kind as to teach us Survival Spanish! That class started tonight and it was so fun! I really hope I grasp the language this time, high school Spanish was not my best class!!!
Me llamo Carolyna (My name is Carolyn)
Hasta luego!!! (See you later)
