Not a whole lot going on, just didn't want to board to get stale. Things are winding down now... or heating up depending on how you look at it I guess. In less than a week now I'll be working for the U.S. Government. My biggest project this next week is packing (which I'm sure will take more than one try) among finishing up a couple books, watching TV and some movies, a little shopping, getting some last-minute fixes on the internet, going out to eat, visit friends and all that other stuff. Can't forget packing, though!

Citizens of the world, ask not what America can do for you. Ask what we together can do for the freedom of man.

Matt!! I'm reading your blog! And I'm going to bookmark it after this. wooooo!
p.s. I know someone who is in Zimbabwe right now and on Sunday I heard a message from a missionary to Uganda. Yes, I realize there are 53 countries in Africa and it's a big place, but that's all the connections I can come up with right now. :D
Hey Matt,
Just wrapped up the packing.. I came in at about 70 LBS total. I'm pretty proud of myself for that. Can't believe we leave tomorrow!
