I just said goodbye this weekend to Kelsey, a wonderful young lady who came to serve here at Colina for a month, and Adrian, Noelle, and their three beautiful kids. These people have shown such love to the kids here and to me as well it was very hard to say goodbye to them knowing that our paths are going different directions. I am so grateful that I was able to meet them. Talking to them and hearing the things that God has done for them over the years was so enjoyable. Having tea and cookies with
Kelsey to end our night and just talking like old friends was so awesome. And sitting with Noelle as she teaches me Spanish and Knitting. Got a hang of the knitting, the Spanish is coming slowly, but I am doing better :D And listening to Adrian talk about his childhood here at Colina was so awesome. And the way that the kids here at Colina loved being around these people and watching them interact was such a blessing. Left- Britt and her awesome little ones Below Britt and Erica
I also said Goodbye this last week to my summer classes that I have been teaching since the beginning of July. Kudos to
all the teachers out there, this was so much harder than I thought. I was teaching 3 computer classes and 2 crocheting classes. The crocheting class was fun cause I was able to create my own things and teach them to the class. In fact, one of the girls in my older class created one of my bags. I felt special. My computer class was just a little bit harder than that. I know computers but trying to teach 25 kids ranging from 4 to 15 was really hard. I had fun though, watching them draw in paint and create powerpoint presentations about different historical figures.
As my time here gets close to an end, I see that I have so much ahead of me and also had the realization that my life here and my life back home dont have to be separate. They c
an and will be joined. Colina is a part of me and God wants it to continue to be a part of my life as I grow older and circumstances in my life change. I am so thankful that I know this now. It makes me feel so blessed that this new family of mine will always be a part of me. I am a lucky girl. Bottom left - Britt and Luz, Bottom Right - Britt and Vero
