So today I had a telephone interview with a really really nice gal who works at Pioneers, which is that missions organization I'm leaning most towards. We were chatting and she asked how my family felt about me going overseas, and I mentioned that eventually I feel called to go to Morocco, she stopped me and asked if I speak Arabic and my obvious answer was no. Then she suggested I go to a place where there are muslim families that speak Arabic and get involved there. She looked online and found one place in New York City and one in Northern England. I would be able to work with children in both places as well as learn Arabic. Right now, the plan is to be in prayer about where God wants me to go. I felt for a while like it was Bolivia and that option is still on the table, but I'm thinking maybe these might be smarter options. The other thing I found out during our phone call today was about Pioneers orientation. Its 6 days long and in Orlando, so the plan is to go to the August orientation, Aug.1st-6th, so that I can have my financial situation a little more under control. Before I can begin to work with pioneers, I have to have all of my personal debt paid off, plus orientation costs 625 dollars, not including my flights to and from. So my goal for the summer is to get myself all taken care of.
