It's starting to seem more real. Leaving. 
Only three more work days at PACE Center for Girls in Immokalee. I'll
go from one familiar setting full of awesome teenage girls where I'm
known as "Miss Susan" to a new and foreign setting among yet to be known
teenage girls where I'll be known as "Aunt Su Su". I tell the PACE
girls I love teen girls so much that just seeing them each week day
isn't enough for me and so I'm gonna go live 24/7 with lots of teen
girls. It's been interesting explaining to the PACE girls what a
missionary is and what I'll do as a missionary dorm Mom and about the
teen girls I'll be living with and the circumstances that would bring
them to Black Forest Academy. I haven't quite figured out what it will
look like, but I cannot help but think there will be opportunities for
really cool connections and ways to communicate back and forth in
supportive ways. So as June ends "Miss Susan" goes to work at doing all
the things that need to get done before she can get on a flight to
Germany to reinvent herself as "Aunt Su Su, the dorm Mom of Wittlingen."
Between here and there are a million and one (at least) "to be dones" including a serious ear surgery for our son Jay (scheduled for 6/24) and a minor knee surgery for me (6/28) and the continued effort to raise our financial and prayer support team and the clearing out of our home of 25 years. Other than that not much else going on. Yikes! :)
