Thoughts before the trip

About 17 hours from now I will be on my way to Costa Rica for two months of Spanish immersion. I will take eight credit hours of Spanish (two classes) through a program offered by my university.  As part of the program, I will stay with a Costa Rican host family. I hope to be able to volunteer at a health clinic while I'm there as well.

I am very excited and grateful for the opportunity to study abroad but I am definitely nervous. I imagine that the learning curve will be very steep; this isn't just a Spanish class that meets for an hour three times a week. I think I'll learn as much (if not more) humility as I'll learn Spanish.

Anyway, I look forward to updating my friends and family on my adventures throughout this experience and would appreciate prayer for safe travels.
