Almost time to go...

OK, the last week has been pretty good. My plans have finally come together and most of the details are worked out. I received the passport I had been waiting for (kind of needed that...), bought a plane ticket (can't get very far without one) and arranged lodging and that kind of thing for my arrival.
I leave on Saturday, Feb 10th, which is quite soon. When I arrive in Guatemala, I'll travel up to a small town called Nebaj, where I'll take a week of intense Spanish classes and learn about the way that town has been improved over the last decade. Nebaj has been 'worked on' with the help of the Peace Corps and a organization CE Solutions with the goal or focus being that the local community help itself rather than be helped. This is important to keep in mind as I work in Pinalito.
I'm not terribly nervous about my trip, but my one concern is my Spanish skills. In the last few weeks there have been a lot of distractions that kept me from studying/practicing, so the first few weeks will be a bit rough. I guess I'll just dive head first and see if I sink or swim. I take comfort in the fact that I am not alone, God is with us, and helps us in our doing of his works, just like he did with Moses, Jonah, Paul...actually, any of God's workers we read of in the Bible.
Psalm 48:14 "For this God is Our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even to the end."

I'll keep that in mind. God will be my guide, and I'll be just fine.
