Well, it's two weeks until I head out to the first developing country I have ever visited. I really am thankful to God for providing so many contacts to me who know about life in Ghana and in the developing world in general.
I have been buying basically all the recommended stuff from a list that UC Education Abroad gave me for Ghana. I still want to read up more on the history of the country before I leave so I can at least articulate who Kwame Nkruma is.
Yesterday I had an interview with the Peace Corps and the recruiter nominated me on the spot! It was very exciting. I am nominated to the Latin America region as a business advisor. This is so great because it's exactly what I have the heart to do: help developing country businesses thrive to produce economic growth and provide families with an outlet for their skills and talents.
This is only the beginning of my journey abroad and in this field that I have been called to serve. It is definitely strange at times when I sit down and think about what I am actually doing because I never would have imagined this! But, I remind myself of my mission and the true reason I "go" and then it becomes certain again.
