('Have fun'!)
My friend Emily said that to me last night en espanol. I had to think twice about what she said-- which scares me! Because in just 1 day, I'll be in a place where I'll be speaking Spanish an awful lot of the time. I'm both nervous and excited.
After my plane touches down at 9.43 pm tommorrow evening in San Juan, I will go to the house of Sra. A, my host mother for the week. All I know about her is that she is 67 and lives alone. I'll be curious to see how my mental image matches up with reality. Maybe I should bring her something emblematic of NC as a houseguest gift. Any suggestions??
An awesome friend suprised me by loaning me her 'Santa Biblia' (Holy Bible in Spanish) for my trip. . . what a good idea. I'm definitely excited to sit on the beach and soak in some sun and some scripture! Here is one of my favorite verses- now in a different language. . .
'En el arrepentimiento y la calma esta su salvacion, en la serenedad y la confianza esta su fuerza.'
Isaias 30:15
Returning, rest, serenity, trust-- all things my heart cries out for.
In more fun news, I am spending money like crazy these days-- in preparation for my trip, I bought a new camera yesterday! The old one was just so awful. So bad that OTHER people laughed at it. So, I bought the Canon PowerShot SD1100, in Carolina blue. And--of course-- I picked up a new bathing suit while I was at it. What else could I need? I'm ready to go!

Have fun. Check your email, I asked if you knew a fellow classmate that currently lives in PR. Her family is super nice!
