Orientation has begun for all the interns, some parts are boring, some really interesting. Last night, we watched Invisible Children, it was phenomenal and ever since I have been seriously debating going to Africa. Go to InvisibleChildren.com and see what I'm talking about. I would also strongly suggest seeing the movie. Anyway, it was amazing and changed my thinking and feelings a lot. I was completely speechless afterward. I think my stomach was a little uneasy because the movie was shaky and I got a little dizzy from it. But all is well today. So I've been thinking a lot about going into Missions as well as the Peace Corps. A lot of missionaries have trouble adjusting abroad and once I get my PhD or whatever I could really go anywhere and use my degree. That is something I'm really praying about. Like, where I should go after my externship and what I really, really actually want to pursue that will make me happy and will also make a difference in the lives of others. Because that is what I want to do most. I want to help others and reach out to them. I love going abroad, I really want to go to Mexico, South America, more of Central America, Asia, and now Africa. I want to travel and make a difference. Once I'm done my externship I want to be doing something that requires traveling where I can go abroad for a little, put myself in a completely different environment, learn the culture, the language, and make a difference. What do you think? I would really love to go into the Peace Corps and am still seriously considering doing that after my externship and I can work with a Grad school that I can do it abroad and complete it after/during my time somewhere. I would love to go to Asia or South America. So those are my thoughts and where I'm at right now and where God is taking me. Keep me in your prayers with figuring out my future as well as my safety while in Guatemala.
