Wow, this is finally happening. Ever since I was in Zimbabwe for Mennonite World Conference (MWC, I'll try to explain the acronyms that unfortunately the Mennonite Church is famous for) volunteering for the next conference was just a dream, and finally it's right in front of me! I have 2 weeks of orientation, and then on July 19th, I'll fly out of Philadelphia, for Asunción, Paraguay. Until then, I'm in Akron, PA for orientation with MCC (Mennonite Central Committee).
Orientation starts officially tomorrow, but those of us on the Latin American and African teams had to be here today for meetings (so we all came sunday afternoon/evening) and had 2 meetings today and plenty of free time. The next couple weeks look like they will be more structured, which will be nice.
I'm already making so many connections with people here who know people from different stages of my life, it's great! The learning curve will be steep over the next... (oh dear, probably a long time), but I'm ready for the challenge! :)

Hi Kelsey. Looking forward to reading your blog as your year unfolds. You will do great. Did you hear that Andrea's grandfather died in Canada and that she will be going there before coming to PA, so it might be a few days later than expected. have a good day. Love you lots. Your father.
