What a crazy last week it has been. So surreal, so scary. I just can't believe it's all come to an end, yet everything is just beginning. This week everything has come to me as a sign that it is time for me to go (even though I don't want to). I ran out of shampoo. I ran out of toothpaste (haha I've been mooching off of the hermanas for a solid 5 days). I ran out of body soap, hand sanitizer, and my hair brush broke. :P Solid.
Thinking back on the last 18 months feels like a dream. It truly has been a dream, and sometimes a nightmare, but I wouldn't trade anything in the world for an experience like this. In fact, I would give anything to stay and love even more the people here in the DR. My heart belongs to them and forever will. Not going to lie, I had a few brake downs this last week. I was surpised that I didn't get trunky ha! It was quite the opposite. Make one more contact, teach one more lesson, smile at one more person. It really made the difference.
Today I had the wonderful priviledge to visit my area in the Captial, La Yuca. I felt such a wonderful joy as I sat with some of my favorite people on the planet, one of them being Jose Manuel. He is doing awesome. I can't express how happy I was to talk with him about the gospel and see the progress he has made in the short 3 months I have been away from La Yuca. He is so special to me.
Bueno, nos vemos el miércoles!!!! Les quiero mucho y les agradezco por su constante apoyo estos 18 meses. Les amo de verdad.
Con mucho amor, Hermana Perry
