Wow, time has really flown by and already we are coming to an end with only 3 more weeks left of our time in Colombia. Overall, my time here has been enjoyable. I have really enjoyed getting to know the Guevara family and seeing what all really goes into running a church. I used to think it would be cool to be so involved in church but now I find that it tires me out and I lose motivation to go to church so I need a balance between church and non church activities. I have also strengthened my own opinions on several issues and have become OK with having my own thoughts and beliefs even if others around me don´t always agree and I have become OK with making decisions based on what I believe to be true versus what others think. That is a very freeing for me. This time apart has also strengthened Nanen and I´s relationship and brought us closer together. I have also enjoyed the friendships that I have made here as well as the things I have been able to learn from the Colombians. I have also enjoyed getting to know my teamates more. Melina (one of the girls on my team)and I took on another project this month of teaching English in a school in a nearby town. We will be finishing up these classes this week as well as the music classes at the children´s home.
Plans for June include a youth retreat this weekend, my parents visiting for 4 days as well as the school semester ending the 23rd and returning to the states the 24th. Then there is a re-entry retreat at the end of June.
