vaccines

I leave for Ethiopia in about 2 weeks and I truly can't believe it!  I am so excited for the opportunity we have to go there and share the love of God with these people.  We will be coming alongside Beza Ministries so it will be awesome to see them do what they do as well!  Yesterday I went to get my vaccines required for the trip and it all became a lot more real to me.  I only had to get 2 shots (Hep A and Yellow Fever) and typhoid pills.  I also got malaria pills for when we travel outside of Addis Ababa.

I have to admit that I was very nervous to get these shots after hearing "horror" stories from various people.  However, I had a GREAT experience getting my vaccines.  No joke! The man sat down and talked with me about Ethiopia for a half hour and gave me a booklet on Ethiopia, then he told me about every disease and every shot.  Finally it was time to receive my vaccines.  Bada bing, bada boom...it was done in no time!  I realize that the injection site will probably become a little sore, but for now I'm feeling fine.  Now that the shot is actually given I don't care if it hurts!  

2 weeks! CRAZY!  I can't wait!
