Goodbyes

I hate saying goodbye. I hate knowing that it is not just a "see you later". But I would have much rather had these last few weeks of learning and living and then goodbyes than never experiencing any of it at all. I have learned more than I have ever learned in five weeks. God has stretched me and molded me and He is making me more like Himself. I had no idea that my heart could love the way that it has and it will take a long time to stop missing the kids and the people that I have fallen in love with here. We are spending our last week here at the beach doing a lot more touristy relaxing things and I'm not complaining about that at all. I can't wait to be home and show pictures and tell the stories of all that I have seen and experienced. I love you all! Mary
