In 14 hours, I will be boarding the plane. I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off all day, but I am pretty much packed and ready to go!
But despite having everything in a suitcase, I am a nervous wreck. I have never been to Europe before, let alone lived outside of Orange County for more than a week. So with that, I would just like to list some things that I would love for you to pray for as I leave the country:
- Safe travels with my flight, and that I don't forget anything
- That I won't get TOO homesick, and make friends quickly.
- Safety in Europe...there are a ton of pickpockets, criminals, and gypsies, so pray that I don't get jacked!
- For the culture shock to not be a huge problem, and for an easy transition into the language and customs.
Cause as excited as I am about this trip, my nerves are getting the best of me right now. It was really hard saying goodbye to my friends and grandparents over the weekend, and it will be even tougher leaving my family. But God is going to protect me, and I know that He wanted me on this trip. This semester is going to change me, and I can't wait to see how.
Aaaaaaaah, the next time I will be writing on this is from Italy! See you there, everyone!
Love, your Italy-bound friend,
Kara
