6 Days!!

Hello all (or should I say Howdy y'all!)!

I've been meaning to start this for a while now, but I guess better late than never! I was planning on just using Facebook to update y'all on my adventures, but it's blocked over there.  Another big obstacle was coming up with a title, and for those of you who know me well know that I'm NOT witty, so a huge thank you goes out to the creative team, Jordan Matthews! 

All of that to say, I will be posting pictures and updating everyone on my adventures. My hope is post a few times a week, but who knows how that will go. 

6 days. In 6 days, I will have my bags all packed and be ready to go.  In 6 days, I will be taking off on this amazing, once in a lifetime adventure, following the plan He set before me.  Until then though, I will continue to make my rounds of goodbyes, cross things off my to-do list, and be called "box lady" by my mom.  

Here are the logistics of my trip. 
On June 27, at 7:15am, my flight leaves DFW and 25 hours later I will land in Taiwan (there is an 8 hour layover in LA). I will be in Taiwan for orientation and training until July 27th and then I will go over to Fuzhou, in the Fujian Province of China where I will be teaching 3 year olds through total immersion.  Again, there s no Facebook, so I'll be updating you on my life, so please don't forget to update me on yours! :] My email is Jodi.prachyl@gmail.com and I also plan to use an app called viber that let's you text and call others with the app for FREE! So get that too! Also, I've got Skype and google chat...hint hint. :]


I have been so incredibly blessed and even overwhelmed over the past few months by all of the support and love that everyone around me has been pouring out. I have always known that I am surrounded by amazing family and friends, but now everyone else knows it too! He has placed each and every person in my life for a reason and I can't help but feel a little guilty, because I got the best of the best! It is because of those people that I can go.  It is because of their love and support that I feel safe taking on this adventure. It is because of the reassurances and promises of prayers that I am able to have this experience.  

So thank you! You are making this possible.  You are as much a part of this trip as I am! For that, I am beyond grateful! You're the best!! :]

Oh, also, if anyone is itching to run a 1/2 marathon and wants to go some place cool to do it, come run the Great Wall Run with me in May!!
