Long weeks...

Sorry I have not written in a while, we have not had internet in our house for about 20 days! Luckily I do have friends who have let me use their computers, especially since the last 2 weeks have been a bit trying. My sister had surgery to remove a tumor. It was hard not being home with her and my parents, but I know God was in control and taking care of her, and my parents, much better than I could have done. Thanks to God, the tumor did not have cancer and she is now home recovering. I am so thankful to everyone who was/is praying for her, my family, and I during this time. I am also thankful to my friends who let me practically live at their house (and being as they are guys, who put up with my emotional female-wanting to be home with my family times :D God is so good!

Not much new is happening around here. I am just on the count down to my leaving Costa Rica and going to Peru. Please be praying for me through this. Every time I have left Costa Rica I have returned, this time I am not. Every other time, I was not overly excited about coming back (not that I was not excited, I just did not have many friends to come home to), now I have friends and I really want to return, but I am not. So the count down is a little bittersweet. I am SUPER excited to go to Peru again and see all my friends, but leaving Costa Rica means leaving the life I have lived for the last year and a half and the friends and family I have made here. Your prayers will be much appreciated during this transition time!
