2 more weeks to go...

Blog posting…

Nothing like spending my last few weeks feeling sick. All last week I had a terrible cold and it never got better. On Saturday I started getting body aches and feeling just awful…on top of being emotionally down and sad because my dear friend Michelle left us to head back to the states. So, here Sunday rolls around and I still feel bad…let’s just say we should all know its bad when I don’t feel like making coffee in the morning or even drinking it! Hmmm… Instead of going to church I was stuck in my bed all day long still feeling achy and weak. Who really knows what’s wrong with me.

Yes, as I already mentioned Michelle left us on Saturday afternoon. One word: surreal! I was trying to imagine myself in her same position in exactly two weeks and it was hard! Plus, just seeing her go was so difficult because she has been in Bolivia my whole entire time here. We got to experience so much together and when you live with someone is such close proximity you grow closer in more ways than you realize. Our relationship was one of a sister relationship, something definitely special. The difference in our departures from Bolivia is that in the next few years I see my returns only being for visiting purposes when Michelle just might be coming back to live as a full-time missionary (and maybe for some other things as well)!

Here I am with only two weeks left in my time here! I know I was saying at three weeks that it was crazy how little time I had left, but it seems really weird that I will be leaving what has been home to be for the past how many months. Well, I hate to keep this short, but I have to roll on out to Spanish class...I have to try and perfect my Spanish my last few weeks here, hah;-)

Will you be at the center next week? I want to spend more time with you before you leave us!
