Preparation is a strange state. I am not yet doing my year of service, and yet, I spend much of my day preparing for that service. I study Spanish. I write and send funding letters. I scan headlines for news from Argentina. I pray and think and make promises to myself to ease lingering anxiety.
None of these activities are the service itself, yet they are of the utmost importance. To serve, I must be at peace. To be at peace, I must prepare. And so I go back to writing a letter. Maybe you will get one. Maybe you already have gotten one.
My time at Eagle Rock draws to a close. I leave here on Tuesday to drive back to South Carolina. To those who have supported me through THIS year of service and now support me as I prepare for Argentina, I say, Gracias por todo.
