Coming home for a couple weeks to catch up with family and friends has been great! It has been busy in some aspects but also relaxing too. I have definitely been catching up on my Starbucks and American junk food:) I'm thankful for getting to come home for Christmas because my family had a great one and I hope everyone else did also.Coming home from Nicaragua has been challenging in some ways. Its been easy to feel a little bit out of the loop with everybody's lives here because I haven't been here. I have also noticed how much more confident I can be in Nicaragua doing certain things than I am at home doing the same thing. I'm not completely sure why that is but it is definitely something that I want to work on. I can't believe we are already half way through this year. It has been so awesome and I thought the way that our team left in December by talking as a team about all the funny, challenging, awesome, and bad things that have happened so far was so great. It made me appreciate those moments so much more. I think being home has recharged me in some ways about the next part of the year. The one passage in the Bible that has been a huge encouragement to me the last few weeks has been Jeremiah Ch. 1. I want God to speak HIS words through me instead of me just talking all of the time. I only have a few more days here with my family and friends before we go back and I really plan to enjoy every moment that I get to spend with everybody. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and has a Happy New Year!

 

Love,
