News and random stuff

Above is a picture of me and Ben, as we are waiting outside of a health center to get shots (for our outreach trip to Southeast Asia). But as it turned out, this particular center did not have the particular shots that we needed. So we went somewhere else.

And, as it turns out, we will be leaving on Friday Nov. 7 for outreach, not Monday, as was previously arranged. But all is good! We are very excited about going, and even though there is still a lot to get done beforehand (tomorrow, for instance, is "deep cleaning day," which takes place once every three months, and since we are still here, well, you know), getting on the plane will make up for all of it.

I don't have any deep things to talk about at present; though I would like to enter into a discussion about something more thoughtful, at the moment, I have to go clean my living space (I would call it my "room," but it's not just mine). It's funny how disorganized and cluttered one small bunk bed area can become.

I am currently reading a book called The Search for Significance, by Robert S. McGee. It is worth reading, and has made me think through some things that I'm not sure would have occured to me otherwise. Perhaps later, I will write more on the subject.

Until later. Hope everything is going great.
