Start of a New Adventure

Well, if you're looking at this then you must know that I will be spending a year in Switzerland through Rotary International. Burgdorf is the town that I will be living and going to school in. I am very excited about leaving. I am leaving August 5th, which is VERY sooon!! ahhh! I'm working on getting packed. I also now have my visa taken care of which is a BIG relief.



My first host family has already been emailing me this summer. I know that the Mom and Dad are both veterinarians. The dad is a vet at the local dairy farm and the mom is a small animal vet in Burgdorf. They have 3 kids, Theres (19), Stefan (21), and Kathrin (23). Stefan lives and goes to school in Burgdorf. Kathrin and Theres go to school in Lausanne. The family seems really nice and I can't wait to meet them in person. I have attached some pictures that my family has sent me.

So my departure date is Sunday August 5th, 2007. I have to be at the airport at 8:15 am. I will fly American Airlines to Dallas and from Dallas I will fly to Zurich, Switzerland (same airline of course). I don't know the next time I'll be able to post something so this might be my the first and last entry for a while!

Please pray for me because I am nervous about going overseas!! Thanks!
