Flying and friends

I just wanted everyone to know that I arrived safely in Virginia and with all my luggage! All my flights were smooth - practically no turbulence. None of my bags were over 50 pounds either - they were about 49 pounds though!

I've gotten settled into my room and have met many new people. Everyone is very supportive and friendly. It is really great to be around like-minded people - people with the same goals and calling as me.

The only thing that is not agreeing with me is the weather. It is so cold! I turn the heat on in my rooom at night and when I walk to breakfast in the morning there is frost on the ground. In Louisiana and Mississippi, we don't see frost until January!

I've been staying pretty busy, but I will try and post again. Keep praying for everyone and for me!

You are in my prayers. I know you will have a wonderful experience there and make many new friends who will soon be spread across the world.

You'll be a great teacher for those special children. I'm so anxious for you to get there and get started, but the preparation you'll get during this time is very important.

Enjoy the cold weather. You won't be seeing much of it here or where you are going!!!
