Things are getting closer and closer to coming to a close. Today (or possibly tomorrow) the last of the students will leave. A few regular students, plus all of the Bible school students have stayed here for a Christian camp which finishes this morning. It will be sad to see them go. Right now I have plans to see several of them in the last few weeks as I will be travelling near their home areas, but it's still hard to see them go.

I finally feel much better. After over a month of having one type of sickness or another I am finally starting to have energy. I still have a certain amount of pain from the shingles, but it makes sense that my body needs to heal and it's not zapping my ability to get things done.

In the past few weeks I have begun to try to get things ready to go home. Finding a job doesn't look like it will be easy, but I don't feel that there is much that I can do from here...and in fact little that I can do while in Kansas...and maybe not really much I can do til January, haha. But I'm still trying to look-to get ideas of where to apply if nothing else. I already have a place to live and a roommate, and that is a huge blessing and a lot of worry off my mind.

I am so very sad to be leaving Honduras, but I am excited about this next year. While my life here is great, I don't get much of the indepence 24 year olds from the States are used to (you have no idea how excited I will be to have my car back!!!) I am looking forward to seeing my friends, going to my church, and starting life as a "real adult" (though I doubt the last one is half as exciting in reality as it sounds).
