Let the countdown begin!

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my blog. My name is Sarah and I graduated from Franciscan University of Steubenville in May 2008 with a degree in nursing and not long after passed the NCLEX to become an official Registered Nurse! In a little over 3 weeks I will be leaving the States and moving to Jamaica to work as a volunteer nurse under the auspices of the Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB) for a Catholic organization called Mustard Seed Communities (MSC). MSC is devoted to caring for abandoned children in Jamaica. It is home to over 400 children who are mentally and/or physically handicapped or who are HIV+. I've created this blog so my family and friends can keep up with my adventures in Jamaica. I am hoping to add posts and pictures as often as possible. In the weeks leading up to my departure I'm hoping to write some posts about the different organizations I will be associated with while serving in Jamaica and some basic info about Jamaica itself. Also, if you are visiting this blog after hearing me speak at Holy Trinity or after reading my letter in the parish bulletin...thanks so much for stopping by! Add me to your favorites list and check back now and then to see what I am up to. Thank you so much to anyone who was able to support me financially. But even more importantly, thank you so so much for all your prayers. Please continue to pray as I make all the final preparations, which I am sure will be stressful! As a final note: if anyone reading this blog would like to support my work in Jamaica financially, please contact me and I will provide you with the information needed to do that. God Bless you all!
