Hey all! I am sitting writing this when I really should be asleep since I have to get up in a few hours to head to the airport but I can't sleep so I thought I would share a few quick thoughts.
I can not count the number of times I have applied or used things that I learned at SPLICE. It was such a blessing to be equiped with cultural things as well as everyday life things that I really didn't even think to think of. One of the biggest things is the yay duck and yuck duck, this has been so amazing to have and I praise God that they talked about this because it helps put into words a little bit more about how to describe situations in life.
As I sit here, I am for sure experiencing a big Yay/Yuck duck moment. I am excited to be going back to the States, because I miss my family and I can't wait to see them, especially my nieces and my nephew. I am also super excited to see my friends, because I miss them so much also. However, at the same time I am sad to be leaving El Salvador, even if its only for ten days, I can say that I actually feel at home here. The people here have become like my new family and the children in Guayabo, I just love those children and not to see them for ten days is going to be hard. I can't describe or put into words how much the Lord has taught me and how much He has blessed me since I came here. I also can't tell you or thank the Lord enough for the Turcios family, they are amazing. They have not only welcomed me into their home but they treat me as if I was always a member of their family. It has been a true blessing. The past couple days I've been reminded of the fact that life is a pair of ducks there are moments that are exciting and sad at the same time. I've learned that I am going to miss people where ever I am, when I am in the States I miss people from El Salvador, SPLICE, etc and when I am in El Salvador, I miss the people in the States. It's for sure a paradox but that makes me all the more excited for when we get to Heaven. Then we will all be in the same place at the same time and we can all hang out together for eternity!!! :)
I just praise God for all that he has done and all that He will do!! To Him be the glory!!
My next post will be from the States, please pray for safe travels! Adios!
