My friends have told me not to go. They say, "It's simple! Just don't go! You can teach! You don't need language!" It's very sweet and when they say it like that it does seem very simple, though I know how important knowing the language is! At the same time there are many other things I'm considering and the most important is God's will. I know that following Jesus daily and living for Him puts me in the center of what God has for me (because I won't be able to miss it walking that closely with God). And following Him daily is an adventure! It may lead me to South America, China, here, I don't know. What I do know is that God has something for me, but until I figure that out, I will enjoy the time I have here with my friends and with the opportunities to share the saving power and hope found in Jesus Christ. After that, God knows!
These last almost 4 weeks will be bitter sweet as I look forward to going back to the states and seeing family and friends and as I mourn leaving this part of my life for the last two years. Thankfully I'll be able to share these last weeks with my friends and have opportunities for conversations and I will also get to share this with my parents who are coming in under a week!
Enjoying picnics with friends!
Bike riding with sweet friends!
