Less than a week!

Well, here I am in Newton, Kansas, getting ready to travel back to Goshen this evening. As I'm packing, though, it kind of feels like I'm going to be leaving for Perú, instead of Goshen. I'm busily packing what I will need for SST. I've got to make sure that I have enough clothes, have host family gifts, have all the books I needs...and keep my checked back under 50 lbs. But so far packing is proving to be pretty easy.

As I'm getting ready to leave, I have a little bit of nervousness, but in a good way. I simply don't know what to expect - which is a little bit scary, but pretty exciting at the same time. I'm definitely preparing myself for SST by trying to not have any expectations. I'm sure that whatever I experience will be interesting and meaningful. I really don't have much else to say at this point, and I should probably get back to packing and spending some time with my family. So next time I post I'll probably be writing from Lima!
