AN INVITATION TO SERVE

I finally have recieved an invitation to the peace corps. FINALLY! BUT guess what!? Its in Kazakhstan...weird huh!? I'll be doing community development there most likely with youth! I would leave on August 18th and be back Nov. 7 2010! Crazy huh!? August 18th is a week after I get done with Youthworks! I'm stoked to do the Peace corps but obviously there will be people to miss, like friends, family, and a nephew that is being born some time late this year! I won't see him for 2 years. It seems as though the country is amazing and I believe it is what I want and God wants of me! I can't say much more now but PLEASE contact me soon if you want to talk and your prayers mean a lot in my life right now! God Bless and I will be praying for you all as well!

It's funny you get back in 2010 because that's the year I want to get married... so... this works out perfectly. by the way... whether you marry me, or i marry someone else... you'll still be in time to attend the wedding. I think... unless I don't marry you. Then I may have the wedding during the summer... which means you'll miss it. That's it... I don't think I can handle you going away for two years....
As much as I want you to go... I don't.
P.S. I'm glad you updated.
