In about 24 hours I will be on my way to Ft. Lauderdale airport to leave for Greece. We connect in Germany and have about an 8 hour layover...the adventurous girls of the group are tempted to explore Frankfurt while we have time to kill but the smarter girl of the group says that's probably not a good idea.
When I say "group" I'm referring to the 3 of us going on the trip. Originally there was going to be 6 of us but the group started dwindling for various reasons. When it was official that there would only be 3 girls going on the trip it became a little intimidating once we realized how vulnerable we could be as a smaller group. My personal thoughts are, if some sicko really wants to abduct American girls, they'll find a way to do it, no matter how many people are in the group. But let's not worry about that.
I know that God has a purpose in sending such a small group over and I'm not worried. It also happens to be my two closest friends I've had since I started college, so I see it as a blessing to be able to serve with them and have such an amazing experience with the two people I know the most.
Mollie, Stephanie, and I are so excited and have been getting our last few things together before we leave. We have no idea what's in store for us, but we know that it's going to be quite different from what we're used to over here in Florida. The missionaries (Bob & Maria Hill) have been emailing us and asked if we had any requests for breakfast for the first morning we arrive. I figured we should be low maintenance and replied that we'd be fine with something such as dry cereal or bagels. The Hills wrote back saying "you wont find bagels in Greece but they have great bread...."
I can't wait to get our arrogant, oblivious, ignorant American butts kicked.
