So Probably by the time you read this I will be past the 72 hour mark of nearing American soil. Wow what a crazy trip it's been. A lot has happened and I've done my best to role with every schedule change, every life change, every language barrier, and every little bump along the way. I've been really busy this week just like the last 15 weeks. Being flexible is very important and I've learned that from my trips to Bolivia and also to Czech. I learned so much about myself in those 2 seek mission trips that now that I'm almost finishing a 4 month mission trip, I'm realizing God's strong presence in my life over the last 16 weeks.
I've done some cool things in the last couple days and I'm sorry I haven't been able to post them real quick but better late than never. What can I say I get so busy I just don't have time to post as much as I like. But that doesn't mean I'm not thinking about my friends and family back home. I love you all and that is why I feel like I need to at least give you a little insight to what I've been up to the last couple 2 days. I went to a beach and help check out a beach to see if a paragliding group would have enough of a landing zone. I've been in Ometepec for 4 months and I finally got around to looking at the big Catholic Church. Also I bought a pink Breast Cancer soccer ball. It's so cool.
Few other things have happened to. I played in my final soccer game down here. I'm planning on playing in a pick up game on Monday but I that is only like a 25 minute game with a bunch of scrubs. Usually we run out of light but it's super fun I got my first goal last Wednesday. I usually play a defensive mid. I'm having a ton of fun in my final days but I'm excited to see everyone.

That church is amazing - how did you miss it for 16 weeks it is huge!!!
We are excited for you to get home. We will try to make the adjustment easy by having lots of opportunities for you to service AKA jobs around the house!!!
Love you mom
I know exactly how. It's a Catholic Church and I haven't really had a lot of time for puttering around town. Every time I went into town it was because I needed to run out and get back for the jobs that were needing to be done. Oh yeah I was also grading papers and helping teach till about noon every day. I've been kinda busy.
