Seeing as the time is just flying by, I am beginning to look
back at all the great times I’ve had with my team and in ministry. It’s easy to
be distracted by the short amount of time left, but we still have a few weeks
as a team! Here are some of the things I definitely won’t forget about this
year…
 
Oh, but before I get to that, I have a couple important notes: 1. my parents fly into this country tonight!!! 2. I get to see them on Tuesday!!! 3. If you are planning on sending me anything before I leave, you’ll want to get it in the mail by Monday or Tuesday. The mail is unpredictable and my time is very limited! Check old blog posts for my address if you need it.
Ok, so back to memories:

Gold dust on my hands

Two Broken fridges, the broken shower door, the broken front
door, broken kitchen appliances, the broken shelf, broken sprinkler heads, and
the smelly cabinet in our room. How is it that so much fell apart?

One response to “Memories and things to ask me about in May”

  1. Leah, the whirlwind of activity will be picking up soon. It is great that you took the time to jot down your memories. Your Parents!!! Isn’t that wonderful?! You are going to have so much fun seeing them and spending time with them in your surroundings. What a rethat will be. Kiss them, Kiss them, and Kiss them again. I pray your time together will be filled with God’s Blessings and Joy, encompassing your very bodies as setting a guard around you all. Allowing not one thing that does not come from Him close to your visit.
    Enjoy eachother. Love You Much, Joyce
