The time has arrived. I’m writing this at 8 am from the terminal in Hartsfield- Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The whole process of getting ready has been a familiar one. I found myself going through the same steps as when I am preparing for a missions trip; and in a lot of ways, this is. For anyone who is unfamiliar, PFO is Pre Field Orientation. It is a requirement for all AG missionaries and Missionary Associates. I have no idea what it will be like, but I anticipate that it will be fun. This year I will be there at the same time as newly appointed MA’s Scott and Charity smith, newly appointed Missionaries to Ecuador, Ashley and Meredith Penley, the missionaries I will be serving with, Chris and Angela Nelson, my adopted parents J. V. and hopefully T. V. (names protected because of sensitive location) as well as the possibility of seeing some other missionary friends from around the world. The bonus is my little sister Chelsea and her fiance Mark live and work there. Earlier I said that I anticipated that it would be fun. With this crew, I know it will be fun.I hope to give you all a glimpse of what PFO looks like. Next stop is Branson MO to meet up with the Smiths and then on to Springfield. Hopefully I don’t make you too jealous.... On the other hand, if these posts compel you to answer the call...
