Orientation


Wooo.. what. a. day. So much info and so little time. Today was our orientation in Philadelphia. 65 of us going to Mozambique at 2am!!! I don't even want to think of the 40 hrs of traveling ahead of us. We keep thinking of our last everythings in the U.S. for two years... Last shower, some people have taken a few so far, last meal, last ice cream. I don't really think that I will miss anything in the U.S. other than my family but otherwise I like to think that I have no attachments here. I am just extremely excited for what's waiting for me... We leave in four hours and although I am a little bit anxious it doesn't seem to phase me. We've talked about how the toilets flush in the opposite direction, how Mozambique is known for some of the best scuba diving spots in the world!!! But then we've discussed the impact that this opportunity is going to have on ourselves and those whom we are about to help. The incredible self development we are about to embark on is beyond what we can un understand. We'll meet a side of ourselves that we haven't ever seen. That's what I think life should be about... Embarking on missions and adventures outside our comfort zone just so we can meet ourselves entirely.
Above is a picture of me with my bald head. I want to see how long my hair gets in two years!!
This is probably the last time I'll be on here for a while. I will be back as soon as I can.

  1. Chitos face! I don't think we would have ever had enough time to finish talking during our last moments on the phone. That last moment could have lasted a lifetime. It has been like that since I met you. My life with you has been one super amazing moment. I am never going to forget how our call ended with an "I love you" and a breath to each other saying "there is everything in the world I wanna say to you!!" but I have probably already told you many times (In this and many past lives).

    You're amazing little spoon,
    chitos face!
