Aye, ye, ye, ye

I can't believe I only have 2 weeks left! AH!

So... updates from these last 2 weeks... Nothing too big. I went to a Catholic women's retreat last weekend, which was very interesting. I feel like I got closer to the women from Ojo de Agua and closer to Paty. It's so different, but I still love being able to be with people who love the Lord.

Teaching has had it's difficulties, but overall I love those little terds! It's going to be sad to leave them, and yet I'll be happy to not have to yell to get them to work, or call out the cheaters, or focus eyes on the board. That I will not miss. But I will miss their bright, smiling faces and the way the get me to laugh every day I go to school.

Most of all, I will miss my family. I love joking with my host brothers. Oziel's birthday is this week, so I bought him a belt buckle with a man on a bucking cow to remind him of the cow who claimed the life of 3 of his teeth in December. Ah... good times joking on that one. But I will really miss Mom. I think we have been what each other has needed. Have I said that already? Regardless, it's still true. I love her dearly.

With all this, I am also very excited to go home! I'm excited to SEE MY DAD!!!! I'm also excited to be able to talk to everyone again, look over my pictures from here, and eat popcorn with Valentina's with my brother. There is a lot to look forward to, and yet so much to miss.

Well, same prayer requests. Keep praying for the students I'm teaching and the students in the program from Ft. Lewis. These are last chances to reach out to them (at least, for some of them). PLEASE continue to pray for safety these last couple weeks, and especially when I travel home.

Andele pues...

Vaya con Dios,
