The time is coming. I am getting ready to leave and I am getting both excited and nervous. I will be heading to Philidelphia on September 19th for my staging where they will give me all my fun shots and hopefully give me some information about what I will be doing while I'm gone. Right now all I know is that I will be doing a Girls Education and Empowerment program. Although I will have about 3 months of language and cultural training before I actually do any service.
The weekend before I go I am planning to stop by Olney and Harrisonburg so hopefully I will get a chance to see everyone before I go!
Well please feel free to e-mail me at parkertk@gmail.com anytime, or call me before I go and if you feel so inspired to send me some packages just e-mail me for my address.
