I can't believe it!! Today is our last day in Puebla, Mexico! This last Friday, we had a banquet at a Brazilian restuarant. We first enjoyed mini tacos and my favorite, fried bananas!! :) Then, we were treated to a fabulous buffet, as well as a ton of different cuts of meat. We didn't really always know what we were eating, but that's half the fun of it, right? After the meal, we were presented with our certificates by the director of the university. It was a little hard to believe that we were recieving a certificate/diploma thing after only 4 weeks here. Too bad regular college isn't like that!! We had a relaxing weekend doing homework, walking around, watching tv and making our last purchases at the markets. One of my friends made the comment that we feel weird just watching tv, because that is something we have done very little of on this trip, which I see as a very good thing!

Tomorrow morning, we head to a camp in Valsequillo. We are not sure exactly what the camp is like, but we will have a full week there for sure. We will be having class, debriefing discussions, planning for our chapel service (that we have when we get back to the US), doing homework, relaxing, campfires and worship time. Our group is excited for this last week, but we can't help but be excited to see friends and family! Friday morning, we head to the airport and are expected to be back at EMU in Harrisonburg, VA at 4am on Saturday morning. Right now, I am just filled with gratitude for all of you who have supported me on this trip, and God for blessing me with so many wonderful experiences and new ways to see His work in the world! I have felt His love and presence in every step of the way. I hope I can share all of this with others and pass on the blessings I have recieved. Thanks for all your prayers!! See you soon!! :)
