I apologize for not updating my blog sooner. I had wanted to post really good news about my health and my mission trip and was waiting for answers most of this time.
    As I mentioned in my previous post, I was unable to take off for Swaziland at the same time as my team. I stayed behind because I was having trouble with my cough and my doctors have been running many tests in order to figure out what I have. The test results finally came back negative for anything serious, however we still don't know what the cause is. I got the okay to go from my doctors as it posed no serious threat to my health. I'm taking medicines to alleviate it at the moment.
    As so much time has gone by since my FYM team left, I was given an option to go to another trip. After praying and discussing the situation with my family, I decided that this was the way to go. So, I will be leaving in January with the Real Life team for Swaziland. I am still very excited to go, and even more anxious to get there. Thanks for all your prayer and support through this.
