2012

The new year has arrived! My family and I are at our annual missionary retreat on Palomar Mountain, with a group of their colleagues I've known since I was eleven. It's been an overall pleasant time; the people are lovely, and the activities are fun (I went zip-lining and horseback riding, and we've played board games aplenty). When I haven't been hanging out with missionaries, I've been reading and preparing for France. I still can't believe I'm leaving on Tuesday; it's a rather scary prospect. There's still a lot to do, although at least I have all my documents in order. Here is a picture of me with my visa:

I have to get an early start tomorrow, so I'll leave this here. However, it is my new year's resolution to blog at least every day that I'm abroad; we'll see how that goes. A demain!
