Saying Bye to the last group for a while

I rode with Paul to Eldorat airport to drop off Ashley, Cheri, and Ian. It was very sad to see them all leave. I knew the moment would arrive when I would say in astonishment, “I live in Africa!”

I had to move from the Brittany House after arriving back home, which added to the sadness. After unpacking most of my belongings at my new home, I sat down on my bed and didn’t know what to do. I quickly became stir crazy and had to leave. I drove to town to check my internet and do some small grocery shopping. Not too much later I received an invite for dinner and I quickly jumped at the opportunity. Much to my surprise and happiness, the dinner that some friends (they are also from Texas) had prepared was soft tacos! I could not begin to express the joy I was feeling. It’s the little things that can really turn a day around. I ended up having a wonderful night and was even excited to come back to my new home. I enjoy seeing how God works in times when I’m down. I can almost feel him pick me back up to my feet and set me to running.
