Tomorrow it is...AGAIN!

Here's yet another story for all you interested readers.

I should be on a plane right now. Right?  Yeah.  Or, if we go with plan A, I should  be in Brazil by now!  But alas, Plan A fell through because my visa hadn't yet arrived.  Ironically, Plan B fell through because my visa DID arrive!  Yesterday afternoon I got a call with the news, and it was...so great!  My visa had arrived in Salt Lake City yesterday, so I called them back, and they were expecting the call.  Laura, the lady I'd spoken with before about a new plane ticket, knew who I was before I even told her yesterday.

So here's plan C.  My visa will arrive in the mail today (thank goodness for FedEx overnight!), and I'll hop on a plane for my journey to Brazil tomorrow. I'm flying out of Logan at 2:50pm, through Miami, where I get to meet up with another missionary for the leg to Brazil.  Sweet! I'm so excited!  AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I AM GOING TO BRAZIL!!!!!!!

Okay for real now (I hope), I will be back in a year and a half!  Until then...God be with you!

    wow. wow. wow. what a crazy missionary adventure already and you're not even there yet! I was wondering why you were commenting on my blog because I thought you should already be at the MTC! Good luck with all this fun stuff. Have fun. I'll miss you, but we'll write to each other and it will be great.

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...

Hamlet

One of my favorite scenes from Hamlet (which is probably my favorite of Shakespeare's plays) is right after Polonius is murdered. I love the literal yet sarcastic reply Hamlet gives to King Claudius at his inquiry to the location of Polonius. KING CLAUDIUS Now, Hamlet, where's Polonius? HAMLET At supper. KING CLAUDIUS At supper! where? HAMLET Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but variable service, two dishes, but to one table: that's the end. KING CLAUDIUS Alas, alas! HAMLET A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and cat of the fish that hath fed of that worm. KING CLAUDIUS What dost you mean by this? HAMLET Nothing but to show you how a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar.
