… until I leave for Africa anyway, then one whole day of travel before I get there!

Can’t believe I’m actually going!  Still seems surreal. 

Things are better since my last post.  I know I sounded kinda down, but it passed.  Guess if any of you prayed, it worked!  that and changing my focus to the good things that are going on.

I received my first piece of mail with my new title on it Saturday!  Reverend.  Wow!  I’ll receive my actual license at church this Sunday.  Pretty neat!  What this means – I’m a licensed minister under the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel.  I’m recognized by them as a minister.  And recognized by the state, so I’m allowed to perform weddings, funerals, etc.  I hope to go on to earn an international license and then, eventually, be ordained.  

Side note – a friend of mine gave me some mosquito repellent bracelets to try out in Africa.  She blogged about it and other missionary stuff here.  Go check her out!
