All the best to you, Hope. I am sure you will make the most of this opportunity. I had a friend who did a couple contract stints in Switzerland for about six months each. He said although he was always ready to get back to the States, mostly because of family, he had a great time in Europe.
(I guess the Joyce Meyer Conference for Women is out now, huh?)
Don't forget to stay in touch no matter what, 'kay?
