Today was wonderful - I got to talk to Jesse on the phone!!!! Praise God from whom all blessing flow! Girl you are amazing and I am so lucky to know you. SO thinks have been crazy with Carrie gone - it has been a good week though. On Monday well I stayed in my PJs and moped about not being at home. On Tuesday I went to see Spiderman 2 (A HUGE waste of 9.50) with the youth group . Oh so I had to take the bus home with my friend Megan. We get on the wrong bus and have to hike back to the bus stop in the pouring rain - the whole time I kept hearing - If you like Pina Coldas and being caught in the rain- in my head and laughing - Finally we get on the right bus but have to walk in teh rain more - yeah we were soppig wet - it was sooo fun. I love the rain. We went to small group and AJ lent us dry socks and blankets. Small group was really good- we are starting a study on Philippians. Anyway afterwards we start to plan our girls choose what to do night - ok so I kinda took over at this point - it is going be sweet as for real. We are all dressing up - both girls and guys - then the guys are picking us girls up and taking us out for dessert - then they are planning something special afterwards for us. Each girl is paired up with a guy - they are picking names out of a hat. It is goin be sooo much fun! Its gonna be the Friday before I leave. Well we talked and planned till 12:30am! I came home and crashed. On wednesday - ahhh wednesday - I went into the city-by myself! and met with one of my Chinese friends, Sherry. We went and had Indian food - soo good- I love curry! Then we went to walk on a beach - so fun! tehn I went and finalized my lesson for the Japenses boys - ok 15 people showed up! I normally have 5-6 and it was just me! I was a wee bit frazzeled to say the least. I got through it barely and then had to rush to catach the bus home - I got home and check my email - to find out some bad news about my account. I texted Heather saying I needed a friend and she called - it was so nice to dump on a friend- she is so great! Yeah then I fell asleep at 10 and woke up at 9 the next morning - I slept like a rock! On Thursday I had more gross Chinese - ewghhhh - so gross and went tramping (its what they call hiking) up this mountian with a great sea view - so cool it had all these secret tunnels and big cannons - I felt like a girl james Bond. Then I came home and chilled. Then today i got to talk to Jesse - yeah yeah yeah! so yeah thats been my week- its been good - I have enjoyed it! Tonight I have a youth activity so that will be funa nd tommorrow is aother All Blacks Rugby game - so pumped! So yeah just settleing into life. I guess also trying to figure out how to say goodbye also especially to those that have come to mean so much to me! But also excited that I get to see everyone at home so soon - 22 days till home!
