Sweeite, I've lived here for a year and just unpacked the last box yesterday... that is, the last box that's gonna get unpacked! Don't feel you have to accomplish everything before school starts!
I'm sorry about the churches- I know that's important to you, and further, that once you find the right fit, it will open up a community of friends. Keep heart, and keep trying!
You know where I am if you need a loving voice!
Allison
