Almost Ready

Whew! Time is sure flying by fast! I am enjoying teaching summer school, and can't believe this is the last week!! Which also means it is getting very close to the time to leave for Ghana. Where did the time go?

I have gotten all the shots I thought I needed, but decided to to get one more "just in case". Ruth and I were recently informed there have been cases of meningitis reported in Ghana. So..... that means one more shot! I do not want to take any chances of getting sick while in Ghana.

Packing is proving to me a lot more difficult that I ever thought it would be. What do I take? What do I leave behind? Do I want to wear more skirts, or capris? I am packing light so Ruth and I can fit all of our clothes into one suitcase which will give us an extra checked bag to fill with supplies for the McIntyres.

In between packing and teaching I have been working on "perfecting" my teaching portfolio in hopes for an interview. The random Lake School District is officially hiring two teachers in which I am licensed!! I am trying to be patient and lean on God, but I cannot help worrying. I have no choice but to wait for the principal to call and schedule an interview- hopefully before I leave!! I welcome all prayers in this matter, as well as for my strength, humility, and not to mention my sanity as I continue to prepare for my interview and my trip.
