Warning: A lot of Drama...

This June we are traveling to Mexico for a mission trip with our youth. I have not been on a mission trip since my junior year in college, so I am very excited about going. This will also be my first international mission trip. When going to a different country, there are a few unknowns that I would to be known! With the unknowns there are just a few hurdles that I have to get over. No matter how experienced I am, or that fact that I am a pastor's wife, or how knowledgeable I think I am, there will always be weaknesses and challenges that I am faced with. My first challenge - the shots!
Many of you know that I am a little frightened by shots. Ok I am completely a wimp when it comes to needles, surgery, blood, doctors, etc. (My new sister-in-law is probably so disappointed!) You would think after an epidural that I could take anything, but no. At what point will I have to get a shot and it be no big deal. Will I be 70 years old and still scared to death?
So Wednesday, Ed and I went to get two shots. Micah was with me, which helped a little. He was probably just excited that for once it was me getting the shots and not him. Anyway, they hurt and my arms were so sore. But to make things worse, I was so tired! I literally felt like I had been injected with sleeping pills. I was in a cloud all day. Today, I woke up with incredibly sore arms, especially the one with the tetanus. Yes, I am a big baby! But seriously isn't there just a pill I could take, instead of it coming through a needle. With all the technology in the world, you'd think there would be some other way.
