Getting Ready to Go!

Only nine days until I fly out for the adventure of a lifetime!!!
I am getting so excited about what will not only be my first teaching job, but my first experience actually living overseas!
I am really excited to see my new home, meet my roommates, and start getting ready to teach.

For those of you who don't know, I will be moving to Paraguay for the next two years to teach kindergarten at Asuncion Christian Academy.

Packing for a new country is kind of hard.  It isn't like I can just pack five outfits to rotate like I've done for trips in the past.  I'm not obsessed with clothes, but I would like to have some actual options for the next two years! What is making packing especially interesting is that Paraguay is in the middle of winter right now, and sometimes it gets pretty cold there! Right now I am just having fun packing and un-packing all of my clothes as I decide what to bring and what to leave behind.

My biggest prayer request right now (aside from safe travel) is for paperwork to come through.  I had to get a background check done through the FBI in order to work in Paraguay. The consulate in Miami has to legalize it (whatever that means) before I can start the paperwork in Paraguay.  I leave in nine days and I still haven't gotten it back so I can send it to the consulate!
