The time has come....

The time has come for MTS to end! *tear*
Man alive I cannot believe how fast time has gone! It is unbelievable. But tonight we did reflect a little bit over the past 3 months but not alot and just kinda discussed what we learned and how we have changed and stuff like that.
I mentioned that MTS made me feel well equipped to become a missionary and I felt that the tools we developed has created a new willingness in me to go and tell people about Jesus. And I also never knew how much Jesus makes me smile and I find a new found joy in Him.
But yeah, tomorrow is our grad and it's going to be so fun and maybe a little emotional but it's so hard to focus on that with spanish school coming. I almost can't wait for MTS to be over. Well it's bittersweet...

Plus, I don't think the Belize blog is coming. There is too much to write. Maybe I'll do a photo blog when I get home or something. Sorry about that. And I also got sick a little bit this week and just for the record...I'm almost never going to drink Super Cola again. So I'm going to have to change that...The triune has officially fallen.

How much longer can she take it???

Well...at least 2 more weeks.
That's right everyone I will be staying in Guatemala for an extra 2 weeks to attend Spanish School. So instead of coming back on the 2nd of June I will be coming back on the 19th of June.

Yeah so the school is in Antigua, Guatemala. Antigua is like the big tourist city here in the country and it's where all the tourists go and they have ruins and and volcanoes and a really big market area and they have like a million spanish schools. Actually it was totally a God moment that I'm actually going because probably a few days before I was having a hard time really deciding on what I was going to do after MTS was over. I wasn't sure if I wanted to stay and go to a spanish school, or go home and come back here in the fall or go home and take a year of school and come back in the summer and blah blah blah...it was really stressing me out. And then one night I was talking to my good friend Charity (who is actuallly joining me at the school) and I was just asking her questions and then shes like you know what why don't you go for 2 weeks to a different spanish school that everyone here goes to and I'll join you for one and then we can come back here to Fe Viva and then we can fly out together and with one of the other staff members. And so I decided right there I was going to spanish school and so I called my family and asked my dad to change my flight. Then the next day she went to Antigua to book us and it turns out the school was full. So I was absolutely crushed and had nothing to do for 2 weeks because my flight was already changed so I was freaking out. And then Carol, the director of the school was cleaning out her room and found a brochure to this other school and it looks totally awesome and so I e-mailed them and they said that they would be happy to take us!! So Praise the Lord, I am going! And plus while you're there you stay with a Guatemalan family and you can do volunteer work around the city and I signed up for teaching french. So I might be able to get by on the 2 weeks without having to speak english at all.

I'm pretty excited.

Belize update to come....
