3 weeks

Mali is only three weeks away!

I'm more excited, anxious, and nervous than I've ever been in my life! I feel like I'll never feel completely prepared, but I've been starting to pull my stuff together, work on my language skills, and stay as fit and healthy as I can.

If you haven't heard, my going-away party is June 29 from 12-4.

Also, I just got skype. My screenname is em-mali. Who knows if it'll work over there, but maybe every once in awhile. If you can't come to my party- drop me a note if you have a new address so I can put it in my address book.

God Bless,
Emily

What I Really Want

MUSIC AND PICTURES

I am trying to compile some music and pictures that remind me of home, but I'm gonna need your help. I would love, love, love it if any of you felt inclined to put together some of the memories we've had, in a burned CD or a couple of pictures so that I can remember you, and home, throughout my time in Mali.

Just over 2 months

It's coming up so soon I can hardly believe it. Graduation in three weeks, Mali in less than three months. I decided that now would be a good time to start giving people an address to my blog so that you can keep updated whenever I may have a chance to post something. I also want to give you all my email address: emilyahurley@gmail.com
I will not have regular access to the internet- so write to me lots by snail mail! This also might mean that blogs will only be occasional (a couple times a month). This postal address is at my training site, which I will be at July 7-Sept 10. After that, I get assigned to a village and will get a new address and let you all know
