coming to you from PDO, pre-departure orientation, in Indianapolis.
I've been here since Thursday evening. my parents dropped me off, I admit, I cried a little.
it's only because I have the best parents ever. I loved getting to spend a few days just the three of us here in Indy.
since Thursday, it's been awesome. we're learning more about each other. bonding as a team (well I don't really have a team, but more about that later). eating. playing ridiculous games. sleeping. you know the drill.
today we actually went to a ropes course for team bonding.
there are about 36 of us all together. about 17 going to Nairobi, Kenya. 4 going to Mexico City. 3 going to Burkina Faso. 2 going to Turkana. 2 going to Spain. 2 going to Indonesia. Then there are 5 us that are lone rangers. I'm going to Ukraine, one to Pachuca, Mexico, one to Ethipoia, one to England, and one to Thailand. so the lone rangers and the 4 going to Mexico City were all in a group today. it was a lot of fun and it really made me think a lot about my internship. cause even though I am now going by myself, I have 35 other people all over the globe that I know will be thinking about me and praying for me all summer long. it hasn't been that long, but I'm already attached to these people and I wish they were all going with me to Ukraine. thankfully, I have a few more days with them. and I'll get to see them again at the end of the summer.
I appreciate all the prayers and support coming from all over, especially those back home. I know a storm of prayers is constantly being lifted up before the Lord, and that means so much to me. I ask that you would continue to pray for me and the rest of the summer interns.
blessings :)
countdown: 3 days until I fly away
