hello my people.  it is about 7:30 in the AM on monday morning and i am about to make the last attempt at getting my stuff ready to go.  i think i am about 99% ready.  not bad for me.  i think i actually got a little bit of sleep last night - and i dont feel like someone hit me with a baseball bat this morning...  good stuff.  yesterday was so busy with trying to pack and everyone coming by to see me, but i am glad that everyone who came did.  it was a great feeling.  plus last wednesday when the youth at church threw me a suprise party.  so cool.  if any of you guys are reading this - you know i love you and miss you so much already!  anyway - i am gonna try and get going - just wanted to say bye.  this will be my last post from the states for a while.  when i arrive - it should be about 3 or 4 in the morning your time.  9 or 10 in the morning in london.  hopefully i can post something so you all will know i got there safely.  thanks for your prayers everyone - i love you and miss you.
