A Little Break

Last Friday morning I boarded a plane for the States, ready for a 6-week vacation visiting family and friends.  The first stop on my trip is Milwaukee, WI.  I'm here visiting all of my family and lifelong friends.  I've already been able to see most of my extended family through dinners and picnics and am so blessed to have such a loving family!  

As tough as it was saying goodbye to those I spent the last 5 months with, I'm excited to say that I'll be heading back to the Dominican Republic mid-July!  Never did I think this 5 month internship would turn into an indefinite stay, but it has.  I'm just not ready to leave the 95 degree heat!

When I return I will still be involved at New Hope Girls Academy, but I will also be teaching English at the University (Ponticifica Universidad Catolica Madre y Maestra) in Santiago.  I'm excited to see how the Lord can use me there in the lives of college students!

So there you have it. The 'big announcement:' I'm heading back!

As excited as I am to return, I'm still enjoying a relaxing break here in the comfortable lifestyle of First World Living.  It's a blessing to have loving friends and family so supportive of the choice I've made to return, and an even bigger blessing to be able to live in such comfortable conditions. 

If you're in Racine/Milwaukee during the next few weeks, send me a message and we'll get together!

Next stop: Raleigh, North Carolina!
