Leaving Home Now........

Well, after getting my room spotless, packing up all my stuff, and getting the truck loaded, it is now time for me to say goodbye to home once again.  It never gets any easier, even though I've done it many times, but I know that in 2 months I'll be coming back to see my parents before I leave to go overseas for SM.  This summer is going to be a very cool summer.  My first summer doing Literature Evangelism was in Wyoming, and now I'm back for a second summer there, and quite possibly my last summer doing literature evangelism.  Wyoming is a particularly fun summer because it is a smaller group that we work with, so we get to be much more of a family. This summer we are working Wyoming much different than normal, but thats okay, we are starting in Cheyenne, and ending in Green River.  

For those of you who don't know, my parents are thinking about moving, and we now have the house here in Illinois for sale.  They are hoping to move back closer to home (wyoming).  I have to say that I'm glad that they are moving closer to home, it means that I get to live closer to home too.  If you guys want to it would be much appreciated if you would pray for my family as we try to sell the house here and for our deciphering of where God wants us to go.  

Well its time for me to run now................I'll try to keep you guys updated as to where I'm at, and what's happening in my life.

The start......

I'm starting this blog for my family and friends that I wont' get to talk to a lot over the next year or so.  For those of you who don't know, I'm going to be spending a year on the atoll of Majuro in the Marshall Islands.  I'm going there to teach high school Science.  More specifically I'll be teaching physical science, biology, chemistry, and physics.  

This dream to go as a student missionary started a year or two ago when I felt moved by God to volunteer to do this.  Some things made it so that I couldn't go this last school year, and I'm very thankful for that fact now that I can look back on it.   I do occasionally wonder what my life would be like if I would have gone this last school year, but I know I wasn't ready to give a year of my life at that point, so now I'm going to be going.  

This summer I'm going to be doing Literature Evangelism once again.  This summer I'm going to be again in Wyoming, its kind of fun, thats where I started doing summer programs at, so it should be a lot of fun.  

As of right now, I'll be leaving for the islands about the 2nd of Aug.  I don't know for sure, and when I leave Hawaii, I won't have cell service, so thats not a very good way to get ahold of me.  In fact, I'm really not sure yet the best way to get ahold of me while I'm over there.  I'll get back to you on that later, when I have more of a clue.  I'll try to keep up with this blog as much as I can.
