First, I would like to get a little sentimental with everyone - I want to thank everyone who came to see me off on Saturday night - it was a great way to leave town, and made me realize how much I will miss Indiana. Thanks to all the people who have been so supportive over the course of this process, you have made it much easier. My family, especially my parents, have been so incredibly supportive of this decision that there is no way I could ever thank them. They never once questioned my decision, and have helped in every way imaginable to get me here. So, a big thanks to all, and I love you!
I arrived safely at staging on Monday, with much of my luggage in tow. One bag did find its way to Detroit (apparently it was a little nervous about going to Honduras too) but it was returned to me last night, and all is well.
The Staging experience has been much different than I expected. The orientation we have received over the past few days has been informative and pretty entertaining. We have discussed cultural adjustments, objectives, and safety quite a bit. The other volunteers have also been great. There is already a really positive group dynamic, and all of us are anxious to get on the plane tomorrow morning and start our adventure!
I hope everyone has a great Valentine's, and I'll keep you posted!
