Final email (hopefully) from Heidi

Hi! This is my final email before I attempt to leave. From here on out communication is via snail mail! :)

After 2 weeks waiting around in Majuro I'm finally planning on leaving tomorrow on an airplane! :) Hopefully in the next 18 hours the plane doesn't break so I really do get to go. Since I'm taking a plane and not a boat, as was initially planned, I have to take the time to repack my bags so I have one 30 pound bag with my essentials in it because I am only guaranteed space for one bag. After that I have to pack my stuff according to what I need most. I might not get some of my stuff for a month or two (or three?) so I'm kind of thinking if I don't need it for 2 months, why will I need it at all? I'm sure life will be easier with everything I have purchased here, but it's obviously not crucial to my existence to have...how frustrating. Anyway, if the plane is not full I will be able to put more than one 30 lb. bag on. Cross your fingers!

My time here has been good. I've grown very close to the 3 other girls who are still here and I will miss their company dearly. I'm anxious to get to Kaben to see what my life is going to be like for the next 10 months though, and look forward to my departure early tomorrow! :)

Letters might (will) be slow coming from here on out, but I will still diligently write because I get great joy from all the letters I receive and want to continue receiving them! Thanks for all your support!
