As this journey is coming to a close I’m feeling happy and sad. Sad because it will be hard to say goodbye to my teammates and other friends I’ve lived with for the past 101/2 months, happy that I will see my family and friends very soon. I know that as this chapter of my life closes God will help me through the process of letting go and moving on to where He has me next The following is a just for fun list of the things I’m most looking forward to and things I’m sad to leave.
