Welcome to my second blog post of all time, which will be informing you a bit more in depth about my adventure to come. Yay! I got more information on how everything will be working as far as living arrangements and my responsibilities. Soooooo here we go...
I will be going to Antananarivo ... yep that's a mouthful, the capital of Madagascar, to help out the Petrelli family who is from Brazil. I will get to tutor and hang out with their two children: Jao Pedro (will be age 5) and Asafe (will be age 3). I cannot wait to meet them... they are my favorite ages. BAH! I will also get to hang out with Orion (will be 2) on Friday afternoons when I'll put on a short program while the kids' parents have their prayer meeting. SO ADORABLE... I haven't seen any of them yet but I know they will be adorable. BABIES! (Laysa Shreves that was a shout out to you)
I also may serve as a teaching assistant at MCA (Madagascar Christian Academy) depending on how much time I have. The Petrelli family will go on home assignment in March so I may help more fully at MCA or I may move down to Toliara to help homeschool the Schaffler family's children.
Considering the ages of these little guys I'm sure I will be laughing at least three times a day, and I'm sure I will have some great stories to share with all of you.
As far as living arrangements, I'll be living in an AIM Short Term House. I know at this point that it has four bedrooms, a metal roof, a tile floor, indoor plumbing, a shower and/or bathtub, a gas stove, electricity and water. WOOP! I'm guessing the other bedrooms will be occupied with other short term people and that I might have a roommate? I'm excited to meet them, too! Yay meeting new people and going new places. I like it.
Also.
Also.
I got two shots. They were great.
I got some Typhoid medicine. It was great.
I got my hearing tested. It was great.
Medical stuff = done!
... I'm really glad that's over... as you all know I strongly dislike going to the doctor. Now I'm just trying to get all of my support letters out to all of you wonderful people! Be on the lookout they should be coming to you soon!
I'll be sure to keep updating all of you on anything and everything that happens!
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20
