I have a few posts in the making, but in the process if working on those, I didn’t stop to think that I haven’t actually published one in 2 weeks. So, here’s a super quick, somewhat lame recap of life since September 17th.
-I MADE MY THIRD DEADLINE!!! So did Adri, Alicia and Josh ALL ON THE SAME DAY. Thank you thank you to all of you who jumped in to help me! I’ll hug every one of you in 8 months since I am NOT coming home this week after all!
-This month has come with way too many goodbyes. First to all of our English students on Friday, then to our church family on Sunday, then to Fabi and Mabe and Gustavo today(though they’re coming to visit us at debrief on Thursday night; Mabe kept telling me “My Linda! STOP crying! We don’t cry til Thursday!” and Fabi asked “Why do you cry? You just come back someday, then no more sad!”). My heart is in so many places all over Quito, I don’t even know how I have any left. All of these people are my family and leaving just feels weird.
I loved it here so much that I literally forgot that we were going someplace else after this. Pray for me that I’ll be present in Colombia, because I’m afraid I’ll be missing Ecuador too much the first week or so.
-Today I ate cereal for the first time in 3 months and almost cried. I live off of cereal at home so I’ve been having withdrawals. Not only that but they gave us CHOCOLATE MILK. They wanted us to have a big breakfast before we left and they outdid themselves.
-Somehow my body always knows when debrief is coming up and chooses the day before to get sick. Sore throat/ear issues are way better than the 103 fever from last debrief, but still annoying. Pray it goes away quick so I don’t start another F squad plague like me and Meagan did in Peru.
-I ate a snail last week.
