A little over a Month!

It is crazy to think that I have been in the states for little over a month now since my adventure to Haiti!

There of course have been some adjustments.. trying to get back into the swing of things! I am not going to school this quarter and actually if I do go back I have decided to switch my major completley to work with kids who have mental disabilities, whether that be special education or any other thing that God may put in front of me.. I am excited but nervous at the same time!

Some things I have had to get use to is the emotional side of things, My first shower in a building was weird to me, I have been showering outside for the past 44 days and being able to look uo at the sky and then now to have a building surrounding me and not having to wonder if the bucket was going to run out of water while I was in it was a little weird! I had to get use to paved roads and going into a building and not having to worry if the electricity was going to go out. I never really thought about going into reverse culture shock, I have known America for 23 years, I didn't think I would have to get use to it again!

Physically, I have had to get use to air conditioning and weather changing.. My baody I think sometimes is still going into shocks at times because it doesn't know how to feel! My ffot is pretty much healed the scap is stil there but the sweeling is gone and the peeling on my foot has stopped.. I thnka God for the healing!

One thing that I have always prayed since I have been back is just that I don't forget what I have learned praying that God is still showing me even back into "life" as I know it here!

Still working on Thank you letters, has been a bit hard getting that written not really knowing how to summarize 6 1/2 weeks into a letter and not really knowing what people want to hear slowly but surely it is coming togther though!

Thank you again for eveyone who supported me!
Still missing those kids everyday
In Christ...
