packin my bags

Well, I've started (and continued) getting everything together for Japan-- making copies of my passport/id's/itinerary, getting toiletries, making gifts for our hosts/friends there, cleaning my room, getting rid of school books, figuring out the last of roomie/tenant stuff here at the house in CO. Also, I've been putting together prayer postcards so people can put them on their fridge to keep me in their thoughts/prayers. If you haven't gotten anything in the mail from me about the trip, PLEASE let me know before Thursday so I can get you on my list ;)

Michael, my boyfriend, Bryson, his roomie, and I will be driving to CA Friday night, and will get a week of vacation before I head out to Japan. It's really exciting, but sometimes I just want to get there!

I found out a few days ago that our major way of transportation while in the city is by bicycle...as many of you know, I've only ridden a bike twice-- once, in Japan in 2005 for 2-3 hours, then once back home in CA. So, if you could please give any sort of help/advice/encouragement/prayer, that would help SO much!

Well, I should probably get back to packing. Thanks for reading!

Kristin, what a great idea to have a blog and keep your friends and family up to date on all the good things you and God are doing over in Japan! I hope it's a great trip for you and that you will have many stories to share when you get back. But how could you not =) Don't worry about the bike, I'm sure you will get the hang of it! Well, have a great time in California and an even greater time in Japan! You are really brave for giving up your whole summer to do God's work in that country. Take care!
