Realizations!

I leave in exactly two weeks! I leave on the 29th! I will be in Atlanta for two days for pre-field training then it will be off the Acapulco! I will be gone for two months with three other female interns.
Once I get to Casa Hogar I will be living in one room out of one suitcase for two months. This means a couple of things: I am OCD/a perfectionist when it comes to some things in my life... my room is not one of them. My mom has never used the words clean and Rachel's room (seriously) in one sentence together. So how fun will it be to live in one room with three other girls? At least I will only have one suitcase so things can't go too far. And who likes to live out of a suitcase for any short amount of time, much less two months?
I will be living at Casa Hogar which means no AC and no flushing toilet paper. Fans will become my best friend and so will cold showers. This is all part of the adventure. I will leave certain things behind (like hot showers). But that is ok because you don't want hot showers when it is 300 degrees outside and you are always hot. :)
Anyway, I am as ready as I will ever be. I am excited but nervous as I don't know what two months will looks like at Casa Hogar. I know it will be challenging and difficult but it will be rewarding. So pray that I will adjust well and that I will be an encouragement and a blessing to the staff and children there! And that I will learn Spanish quickly!
