Almost done.

Only 3 more days of work! I'm really quite ready to be done and to go home for a long weekend before heading out to MVS orientation on next Monday. Yes, I am finally confirmed, although the paperwork hasn't come yet, go figure. Nonetheless, in two weeks I'll be in Sioux Falls, working as a case manager for refugees helping them get adjusted, learn English, get jobs, and who knows what else. It should be absolutely crazy, in a mostly good way.

I don't know how many of you have been following Nathan Detweiler but I thought I should post an update since a lot has happened recently. Maybe two weeks ago he had just finished chemo and tests were all positive, it seemed like he had been cured. Suddenly, less than a week later, he had a seizure, and went into the hospital, had some tests, etc. Anyway, turns out he had a tumor in his brain, which grew from walnut- to fist-sized in a matter of days. He quickly had life saving surgery, and seems to be recovering from that now. Mark Gingerich went out to Iowa this past weekend to see him, said he was pretty out of it, but alive. Keep him in your prayers. You can read his blog here.

In happier news, Steve, Darla, Jason, Mel, Dan, and I spent a wonderful night at the opera last Saturday. You should check it out, along with other summer photos, at my Flickr website, and then you should get your own and post pictures too!

Seems like a lot of news. Well, that happens. Oh yeah, the answer to the quiz is posted below.

Edit: Hey Jaron, can I have admin priveleges? I'd like to add some links to the sidebar.
