Well I thought I would write one more blog before I leave on Saturday the 8th for Akron, Pa for my one week orientation. I have officially four more comfy sleeps left in my big bed :( :). Today, the mail lady delivered my passport with my travel visa. It has been a very stressful process this last month. And I'm very glad I finally have it in my hands. Phew!
If, you all are wondering as to what my SALT placement details are, like what my job description is, or maybe I haven't completely shared all the details with you. Well my job title with Project Gateway and MCC is an Administrative Aassistant. I think I've already shared that I'm working with Project Gateway four out of five days, where one of the four days I'm working with one of their many projects. The fifth weekday I'm in the MCC office, which is now located in the Project Gateway building.
I have no idea as to whom I'll be living with in South Africa for the year. One of my fellow SALTer's, who is going to be in Chad, Africa, has received photos of her home for the next 11 months, but me notta. I guess it will be part of my unknown adventure.
One, thing that I'm going to ask of all you family and friends is to pray for safe travel for me and everyone else as we travel to our placements. I have about a total of 20 travel hours ahead of me on the 15th, so please pray for safe flights.
Just want to also say a really huge thank you to all my family and friends for all your support, either if it is financial or moral, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! Well I gotta run and finish up the rest of my last minute items and start to figure out how to pack everything within my packing limits.
Signing off, next time will be maybe either Akron, PA, or South Africa.
Wow, I can't believe it's time already! I'll be thinking of you, and wishing you a safe journey. I can't wait to hear about everything you're doing and seeing over there. Keep us posted!!
