We all arrived in Chicago last sunday and are now in orientation for the 4th day. We are living with an intentional community here in Uptown called Jesus People USA (JPUSA). We have been instructed to get to know our hosts; to eat with them, talk to them, learn from them etc. At first I was a little hesitent to approach random strangers and just start talking to them, but after a couple days i have realized just how friendly and caring everyone here is!
I love the people that i am living with here and i am very excited about the coming month and the year in Paraguay, though admittadly i have had my doubts.
Things you can pray for:
-i need to get over my irrational fear of being away from everyone and everything i know for a whole year.
-my amazing teammates and i in our quest to learn Spanish
-all of the teams that need to get along in close quarters for a month. Transparency and grace in our dealings with each other.
-as far as i know i still need quite a bit of funds to even go on this trip
