Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

So I cant tell yall how weird it is to think that I will be in Texas at the end of this week. It is for sure a bitter sweet thought. I just got an email from my mom telling me that our caregroup sent me something. Thanks you guys! but sadly....I really doubt I will be around when it gets here. Mailing here is insane. I was asking someone about it the other day out of curiosity and they told me it takes about 10 days to get from the US to Accra, then anywhere from a day to a month to get it from Accra to Fettah, which is where the village is at. But I'll let someone know here that it's coming so it will be all good :]

Tonight was the WORLD CUP! Spain won it all!!!! I was so happy they beat the netherlands...dont have anything against them, I just like Spain better! Today when I was walking back from church, I was walking with this boy named stephen, which is Seths twin brother, anyways we were just walking and I said well, this is my last Sunday here..so crazy! and he was like dont say that! and I was just like, well why..its true. And he told me that when you say that it makes the days go by alot faster and I dont want these days to go by fast. Stuff like that is what is really going to make me miss this place. There are a few kids that each are going to have a piece of my heart when I leave. Brittany calls them my little gang. Because when i'm out there always around.

Tomorrow we have to take over 4 classes. 1&2 grade teachers are going to some teaching seminar so we are the lucky ones that get to take over while their gone. The best part is that 1&2 grade is the craziest class here. They are little heathens, but hopefully we will be okay. Exams start on Thursday so all we have to do is help them review..should be interesting. But on a lighter note everything is good in the village. I get facebook notifications sent to my email and some of yalls comments have made my day. Even though I cant comment back right now...just know that I do see them! We leave in 4 days...holy smokes. I was talking to one of the older kids today, Shaibu, and he was just talking about how I have to go back home. He said that I cant just get up and leave everything behind and move here, even though that would be awesome, but you have to go back and finish school and see your family and friends, and then you can come back here. I told him he had a deal and that I would see him again one day. So with that said.....I will be returning to this place.HOPEFULLY next year, Lord willing.
