I have so many things that I want to share with everybody, but I don't want to write 25 blogs…so I am just going to put it all in this one post!!
~I have not washed my hair since Saturday March 16th…that is almost an entire week!! This has never happened in my life, and it is quite discusting to me. Thank you Jesus for really big head bands that cover up the grease!! But the truth is, that as badly as I want to wash my hair it probably won't happen until we leave this place at the end of next week. We will see what happens…
~Today was our last day to work at the school. It hasn't really hit me yet that I have said goodbye to a lot of the kids that have stolen my heart here, but I assume that when it does hit me, I will probably cry. I mean look at these faces!!
~I am extremely homesick in this moment, and I want nothing more than to talk to my mom but my phone won't connect to the wifi here. I know what you are thinking, first world problems, but I quite adore my mom!
~I have recieved just over $350 in support over the last 5 days!! Which means that I need just $1,500 more by April first!! And some incredible people back home are having a garage sale to help out on Saturday morning at First Baptist Church of Wylie…you should go check it out and buy some stuff!!
~Emily and I went on a prayer walk through the community yesterday, and it was awesome. It was so cool to just walk through this small little piece of Earth and be able to pray for the people that live ther.
~After our prayer walk we went down to the water source to bathe and wash some clothes. The entire time we were there a little girl stared at us. Which made bathing real awkward!
~The girls that we live with are really warming up to me a lot lately! So much so that Bianca, the youngest one, was hanging all over me and cuddling today. Which was awesome!!
~Physical touch is one of my least favorite of the love languages, but today I realized that if it is the kids trying to love me, physical touch makes me feel so loved!!
~As much as I am trying to remain present and focused on our ministries here I am so ready to be done with Guatemala and move onto Albania. This is a hard place to live.
I think that is about all that I have to say for now. It's not super exciting, but it's where I am at.
