Who says leaving is easy.....

ok so I thought things were all done for my paperwork on the Mercy Ships. But just to make sure I decided to reread all the info they sent me months ago. While doing so, I realized that I never got my Hep. B titer and if I didn't have proof of this I would not be allowed to work on the ship. Wow, can you imagine getting all the way to Africa, spending all that money on tickets, and then having them say "sorry you can't work cause you don't have a titer." So I frantically began calling to find out where I could get this titer done. When I called the clinic they said I needed a dr's order. Great that would mean making an appointment to see a Dr. which would cost more money. Well I have friends who are Dr.'s at this clinic so they saved me on this one:):) So the titer is done and I am ready for Africa.

Today was a little harder of a day as I realized that my time with friends and family is quickly coming to an end. I have a pile on my bed started of what I need to bring and will add to it over the next few days. I hope everything fits!!!!!

2 weeks from today I will be leaving for Liberia.....
