Leaving for the short mission

Ok. I am leaving for the short mission to Nica tomorrow night. I am hoping that I will have some good stories to tell and many photos to share. I am not sure of the projects that we will be involved in yet, but I am sure it will be an adventure. I am very excited to meet the Nica team with North Country Mission of Hope and will also be meeting at least one of the Doctors with the The Jessie F. Richardson Foundation based in Oregon. We are hoping to start discussing the development of a home visit program with the elderly. The JFR foundation has been working with the elderly in Nica for over ten years, so I am sure they have a wealth of information to get us started. I am thrilled to find such great resources for my long term mission.
I really should get packing!
Chao for now, anna

All my Docs in a Row!

I hope everyone had a fun and injury free 4th of July!   I am officially getting ready for Nicaragua now. Just a dozen or so documents to notarized, apostilized, photo copied, get the photo copies notarized... send all the docs to the consulate and wait for them to come back and have them all copied once more and get ten copies of my passport and ten sets of passport photos and .... well I am there!

Ah, I cannot wait to meet the Nicaraguan team of volunteers and take a ton of photos to post. It will be nice to journal about my experiences there and not just my preparations here.

Also... thank  you for your prayers!

Chao,  Anna

Independencia feliz y seguro día!

I really like the babel translator. See it on the left of the posts here. I hope it will encourage my spanish speaking friends to visit more often!

   The fireworks started last night... I believe I will stay in and study this holiday weekend. I have many prayers and prayer requests from friends, family and followers of my blog and facebook. I feel really honored when someone asks for prayers. I suppose I never thought about it that way before. I know that I often ask for prayer and feel a comfort knowing that people do follow through.

As always,
Blessings
