Well, I know one of many good things about being home is that I won`t have to blog anymore....haha that sounded ungrateful.  No, I am very grateful for you guys, my blog readers.  After all, I am doing this for you.  I wouldn`t be writing for no reason at all, now would I?

I am super excited because Chochy told me that I will be able to be in TWO more Chochy concerts!  Yay!  Last night we had practice...it was the first one in like a month and we only got through a few songs.  The scary thing is...the concert is in a week!  That means we only have one more Tuesday night to practice.  I really hope that we can somehow squeeze in a practice this weekend.

Meanwhile, I am just starting to realize how little time I really have here.  I keep having dreams that have to go home earlier than I thought and that I didn`t get to pack up all my things or say good-bye.  This week and next week are really all I have left here in Guatemala City and my friends from the church...a team from Barcroft Bible Church in VA comes next weekend, and I will be with them for a week.  Barcroft is the church that I went with last year to Guatemala for my first mission trip.  It is a dental team and I am looking forward to be working with them again!

 I`ve been enjoying my last days here in Guatemala.  Eating guavas, making baked plantains, enjoying the mild weather.  I wonder if I will be in shock when I get home and it is cold. I think the weather here is throwing me off because it is hard for me to believe that it is almost November.  Though I have been seeing quite a lot of Christmas stuff.  Last night when Rossanita was at soccer practice, I went with Chochy in this store that reminded me of Bed Bath and Beyond.  It had a huge Christmas display with ornaments and trees, lights.  It was great!

I`m having one of those ``I don`t know how to speak Spanish`` days.  Some days are really great, some days are not.  Not really sure what makes the difference.  But I know that I can`t give up, I need to be strong and keep learning because soon I won`t have the opportunity to speak Spanish with native speakers everyday.  I`m going to miss that when I get home!

Please pray that I will keep walking in God`s will and that I will be growing everyday- spiritually and also language-wise.  I am so thankful for the support of my family and friends that I have had these months that I have been here! God has taught me so much and I am very thankful for the work He has done in me.
