As you have probably guessed, I have been incredibly busy.
I got back from the states just two months. It's been crazy weird thinking about life in the states has been resuming while I have been here.
To catch you up on everything going on:
Spanish is going well. Better than I expected quite honestly. I know a lot but speaking is still getting to me. The best nights are speaking spanish with the translators as we hang out. I absolutely love it and all of their friendship. Even if I'm totally wrong they will help me understand why I said the sentence wrong.
In other news things are going by very quickly. We are learning at fast paces and going at 90mph. I'll tell you this. It's hard to sometimes keep up. I never imagined I'd be able to understand and speak a little amount of spanish.
In this last month of being back, we have been busy. We found out that we are going to Haiti for a missions trip. I cannot tell you how excited I am to do this. Not only is it another stamp on the passport, but it is actually another opportunity to grow and step out of my comfort zone.
Parents week came and went just like that. We went to a really poor campo named San Jose and we also went to Josiah's House, Emanual House, and Pasitos de Jesus. It was good to show my dad around where I stayed and let him enjoy the hot weather we were having.
Just to let you know I have totally trimmed this thing. I was 18 paragraphs, but I trimmed it waay down.
As I was saying a while back... We have been going non stop. Classes have commenced in full swing and life is just as not predictable as the next day. In this last month I have been off with my group on medical missions trips to help translate, we have been planning for our missions trip to Haiti (I'm pumped), we have had a long class (But it was wonderful and beneficial)of both Soteriology and Old Testament History. Being in classes a lot makes me weary of school, but I am reminded that college is nothing like this experience.
To know what's been on my heart lately, It's been on the peace of God. Every time you face something you think (key word think) you can't handle and then God just says, "Here's a place where you have to rely on me. The question is will you lean on me or try it out for yourself?" I was journaling because that's one of the only times where I can get real with myself about others and my progress. Since being back I have been thrown into situations that just challenge the heck out of me. Whether it's using self control to keep my mouth shut or standing up for myself. I will say that my temper as had a time of cooling. It takes a lot to get me really mad and if walk away from these past 9 months with just that... I think that is huge progress.
I will be getting better about writing, but if you ever have any question feel free to ask. :)
Till next time!
