Well, it's AIDS day

And I'm heading to South Africa.

Two completely unrelated events, but very true in their own right. i have this fear that I'm not suppose to be going. As if this was meant for someone else, not me. I've been so thrilled about this trip since we got accepted and now I'm almost overcome with apprehension. Maybe it's due to the fact I've never traveled as a 'delegate', or it could be the unknown which makes me uneasy. i looked up 'South Africa' on google.com to see what the secular world thinks of this foreign land. and this is actually one of the first pictures that emerged. It's beautiful.



An old friend of mine (native S. African) would always tell me how much he loved and missed his home town and how he would take every chance to go and visit. Also a patient, who is from Nigeria but travels to S.A. frequently for work told me how I will thoroughly enjoy it. And if the people there are anything like them or their descriptions I'm sure it will be more than satisfying. But that's not what I'm restless about...I guess it's hard to explain, but I wish it wasn't.

I have to go pack.
