Grand Rapids

So tomorrow is the final conference before I head out of America. It is in Grand Rapids, MI at Calvin College. All outbounds and inbounds for the Central States region will be there, and so will many rebounds and rotex members. 

This conference will be the gateway to Peru for me, as I will get to meet kids who are also headed to Peru and kids who are from Peru. It is sure to be a worthwhile experience. Something sort of making me nervous is the language test, but at the same time I know I'll be fine. Spanish has been very easy for me to pick up thus far.

I haven't quite begun packing yet but I will be starting as soon as I arrive home from this weekend. My gifts are pretty much ready to go besides a few foods and candies I will be bringing with me. I have lots of tshirts picked out and some sports teams shirts as well. Hopefully my host families and friends like everything! 

Today I gave my RYE presentation to my home rotary club. It went pretty well, and the Rotarians pointed out several things I could improve upon, and that I did well with. I will be presenting  this PowerPoint to my host rotary club at some point, so it is important that it is a good representation of where I live. 

Exchange is coming :)

Peace&love
