2 weeks left

I realize that it has been a while since I have posted anything and for that I apologize. Life has been pretty busy since we got back from Sydney. It has been a good couple of weeks and it is hard to believe that I only have less than 2 more left. My heart is so torn. I am so thankful to God that He has blessed me with all that I have been able to experience here and these people have been so awesome. I will be very very sad to leave my friends and it is really difficult because I know that for some I will probably never see them again. I know that that is all in God's hands but it is still going to be very difficult to say goodbye. At the same time....I cannot wait to see all of you back home!!!! I am so glad that I will be home for the holidays. I have missed everyone greatly and can't wait to come back and share stories and everything. So pray for my strength that I will be able to get through these next 2 weeks fully enjoying them and looking forward to all of the things that God still has planned for this next year and my time here.
On a lighter note, I said that I have been pretty busy...I am still working at the church and finally finished the really big project that I had started on but had to take a break from to decorate the church a couple of times, hehe. So that is amazing...it felt really good to have accomplished something that I know will help the church. Other than that I have been busy hanging out with people, going shopping, attending birthday parties and having so much fun! Last Friday I attended my first Ballet! It was so incredibly beautiful! It was outside at this big amphitheater thing that they have at the Botannical Gardens in Melbourne. A bunch of us took blankets and food and had a picnic there while waiting for it to start. It was so cool. I was very glad that they give you a program that tells a little bit of the story otherwise I would have been totally lost, haha. Then last night I attended one of Melbourne's Carols services. There were tons of people there and my friends and I had a blast listening to the singers and watching the dancers and just singing along and hanging out. The church's Carols service is next week, my last Sunday :(.
Well it is Sunday morning here so I should go and finish getting ready for church. Love and miss you all and can't wait to see you!
