At one point, it involved a month in Guatemala on a missions trip. Without anyone I knew.
That might've also meant seeing our sweet Esperanza face-to-face.
Oh, how sweet that would've been.
But - that wasn't God's plan for this summer.
God's plan for this summer is back here:
That's right. The whole fam is going back to the Philippines. In thirty-three days. Thirty-three days that I'm sure will feel extremely incredibly agonizingly long.
Guys.
We'll be face-to-face with Rechelle - this friend and sister who has inspired me, taught me, loved me so much through letters for the past three years.
We'll meet Florianlyn again. See her family. Visit the church. Play on the beach.
We'll see the building that Eucharisteo built. The one that sweet Floianlyn wrote to us about, asking if we'd be there at it's opening and dedication.
And we had to write back - no, sweet girl, we won't be there.
But now - I can hardly wait because in thirty-three days, we will be there.
I so wish we were allowed to write Florianlyn to tell her, but even if we were, we'd probably beat the letter there - it's that close! {And anyways, I wouldn't put her through the agony of ticking down the oh-so-slow days along with me. ;)}
For some reason time is ticking so so so slowly... June 21st, come faster! If someone could explain to me why Wednesday feels like it should be Friday and 3rd period feels like it should be 4th, that'd be fantastic.
My calendar on the wall that keeps me sane during exam and ISU time counts down to one, sunshine-circled day.
No matter how I count it down - 33 days, 3 essays & 4 exams, 4 week & 5 days, 1 month & 2 days - it can't come fast enough.
Now in the meantime, could I ask a favour of you? Would you pray us there? Safe flights, open hearts, enough faith to let our amazing God do his amazing things. I can't say it enough - thank you.
I could squeal it from the mountains - this girl is going back! :)
