One day before take off

I am blogging from Diann Bailey's house from Ben's room. Thanks Diann, Todd, Ben and Nate to have us over.
I am nervous for my first experience if going on Volunteer mission in US.
Also nervous of whether I am able to do the work assigned to me.... I shall try!

Anyway, a brief news on me in preparation of this mission.
I have a swollen gum problem, presumably my wisdom tooth.
I was in pain 3 days ago with it. yesterday it went down because I gurgle with Hydrogen peroxide but the pain still there. Today, I said to myself If It didn't stop hurting then I'm going to call it off.
I don't want to do that. i have been waiting excitedly to go.
So my tooth can wait. Dear Lord, help me to go through this week well.

OK... the mission i am going to is called Back Bay Mission to Biloxi, Mississippi.
It's a volunteer program to build houses for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
I am going with First Church of Simsbury Voluntary mission team.

Diann is having us stayed at her house to make it easier for our early morning flight from Hartford's Bradley Airport to Mississippi.

I carried 3 piece of bag (???... Don't ask).
I have 1 small (really it is small) suitcase with all my clothes,
a backpack with blanket, sleeping bag, towels, working shoes etc
and another bag for my books computers and other important stuffs.
So I don't think I over packed at all.

I would also thank Hartford Seminary generous Visit America fund that help to defray the cost.

Now it is 11.13pm. Almost midnight. I need to get a good rest for our travel tomorow.

I hope I can keep my daily blog to shre what i see, learn, feel and envision in this marvelous opportunity.
