Wow! I can’t believe it’s been so long since I last blogged. The final month of the race was a great one, probably my most favorite. We worked at an English school in Lugansk, Ukraine with some of my favorite missionary contacts. I will blog about these stories when I return home. We had limited internet while in Lugansk, so I was unable to post any blogs.
Currently, I am sitting in my hotel room in Paris, France. My Mom and brother, Jon, came to meet me in Milan, Italy last Friday. I finished the race on Wednesday of last week and traveled immediately to Milan by myself and spent a day there alone. It was much needed. I loved being able to sleep in and enjoy a wonderful breakfast at the hotel including as many cappuccinos as I wanted (even though I only had one). Milan was really fun and it was a joyful reunion with part of my family. I’m still waiting on a hug from my Daddy and to see my brother, David. I will return home on Saturday. I am really excited! I can’t wait to wash all my clothes and have my own room. Paris is really beautiful. I’ve been able to buy some new clothes, which has been such a blessing.
Thank you, everyone, for supporting me through this year. This opportunity would not have been possible if it wasn’t for you. I have reached my support goals through your prayers and generosity. I will post more blogs and pictures soon. (when my stuff was stolen in Africa, my camera cord was stolen as well, which means that I can’t transfer any pictures onto a computer until I get home) I can’t wait to see everyone! I will have the same cell number that I had before I left, so feel free to call me. See you soon!
