It's here.
I'm in the airport waiting for my second flight to take me from Houston, Texas to Huatulco, Mexico. I should arrive there by 2:15pm & start the drive to Cacalotepec.
I can not believe it's finally here. I knew the time would come fast - but at the beginning of September, I was starting to think this day would never come. But...here it is! I am about to leave!!
Thank the Lord for my Dad this morning. I could barely lift my suitcases as it is, let alone stay calm when they BOTH weighed over 60 pounds! haha! Whooops - it's hard to pack under 50lbs when you have to pack for 3 months including numerous towels, sheets, all toiletries, and lots of clothes - knowing you change twice a day because your clothes are constantly drenched in sweat! = ] Dad helping me calmly move over 10 pounds of clothes form one suitcase to another and into my somewhat empy carryon to make one suitcase exactly 69.5lbs and the other 50 pounds with a $50 extra carrying fee for the absurd weight.
Soo all bags are hopefully being in trnsit to board my next flight so I am not short any luggage - that would stink!! Partially because I only put extra pants in my carryon and not shirts. (hopefully, I'am not kicking myself for that later and telling mom "I should have listened to you.")
I just wrote in my private journal (Yes, Malia the pretty one you gave me for my birthday = ]) and so now I feel like I have gotten out everything I wanted to say.
A guy that is doing the exact same thing at the missionary base is going to be on this same flight with me. I think I might have just seen him - but in the picture I was sent of him - it didn't show his height...and the guy I just saw looked pretty stinkin tall. Guess I will find out sooner or later. I am not scared to ask him his name - just don't want to until I finish my last PRE-MEXICO blog.
Well everyone I have a few prayer requests:
- Safe last flight
- Learn Spanish fast!
- I do not have a total culture shock and want to come home ;- )
- Financial help to come in (if you want information on where to send funds just email me laura_klima@hotmail.com)
