the Little things mean the most

I once heard a avid traveler advise that when someone is out of their comfort zone, it is the little things that keep them sane and happy. So as part of my preparing for Kids Connexions, I've began incorporating pieces of home into my field journal. I made the composition notebook more appealing by covering the inside covers with my favorite color of computer paper. I have used a variety of brightly colored markers to write the headings. I have dictated some encouraging song lyrics, and memory verses. Before I leave I plan on printing out lots of pictures to take with me. This along with the prayer cards should help me stay focused on the goal of project.

I know I'll only be gone for 10 weeks, but I know I'm going to get homesick because that's what I do when I get stressed. So I've prepared a few different ways to save myself from getting terribly homesick. One action I took was downloading skype to my computer. If I get to take my laptop, I'll not only be able to talk to my Dad but get to see him with his brand new webcam!
