We are leaving Illinois one month from today. Even though we have been raising support full-time since October, and we were orginally hoping to return to the Congo in January 2010, I (Sarah) still can't believe we are leaving in a month. I began to pack up all my winter clothes last week and it hit me that we are really leaving the country. Packing boxes of clothes I won't see for two years seemed like a very "official" step toward moving to the Congo. This is really, and finally, happening.
Here is what will be taking up our time in the coming weeks:
July 1-3: Sam's brother Caleb is getting married and we are excited we will be here to join in the celebration!
July 7-8: We will attend an Ohana Foundation training with the Larsens and Sam's aunt, Rachel. This is the curriculum we will be using to teach English at the Elikya Center.
July 10-12: Family friends are coming to visit.
July 25: We fly out of the country
Of course, there will be plenty of packing and getting together with family and friends in these coming weeks as well. Not to mention some of the smaller (but important) details to take care of before we can leave.
