Since my last blog I have happily found out that I will be serving in El Salvador. I had 6 countries to choose from (in order from my top choice to my last: El Salvador, Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, Kenya, and Tanzania). I am so blessed to receive my top choice and looking forward to learning Spanish and being completely engulfed in the culture. I found out that out of the 15 other missionaries being dispersed between all 6 countries that myself and one other person will be serving in El Salvador.
I will leave October 6 for Ossening, NY where I will be meeting all of the other missionaries. I am excited to meet new people. I wonder if there will be anyone else my age or if everyone is older and retired. I know that there are a few couples and some families as well as single people, like me, who will be there.
On December 15 my beautiful family will head to Ossening NY for the sending off ceremony! I'm not sure exactly what that will look like but all families are invited. Then I will head home for Christmas. This may be my last Christmas at home for the next 4 years (but don't worry, I will definitely be making it home at least once a year) so I'm excited to be able to spend this time with my family before I leave.
Finally........
I will be heading to El Salvador the first week in January!!!!! :)

Hello!!!
I am new to this blog thing but I’ve decided to begin blogging because I’ve been ACCEPTED into the missionary and will be leaving for 4 years in October: 2 months in Ossenning NY for orientation and then leave in January of 2013 for overseas work. I’m hoping to be doing my mission work in El Salvador or Bolivia but I will find out on June 11 exactly where I will be working!!!
I wanted to keep all my loved ones posted on what is happening thoughout this process!
Even though I dont leave for a while I have decided to start now because God is working in my life in so many wonderful and difficult ways that I felt like I needed to share this with everyone that cares
Hope you can stay posted with me through this wonderful journey the Lord is leading me though.
