Despedidas

Tonight, I actually got a little sad at the thought of leaving the country for two years. A few of us from work had a little "going away" dinner for Amanda, who's moving to Florida for grad school. It was a little bit sad. I came to the conclusion that I had better park in front of the bakery on my last day, so I can make it to my car before I start crying... Yeah, kind of lame to think that way, but this is my only job where I've actually become attached to the people I work with! And, they are really my best friends in Salem. Although I will be sad to leave the Mexican church too, but not so much my church, as I'm sure I go there again everytime I come home.

I am also kind of sad in a nostolgic way because I am not at "El 3ra Campamento de Jovenes Bautistas" - the youth camp (of which I am still a youth) in Honduras. It is the 3rd camp, and the first of which I've not been at. I imagine I may not have the opportunity to go again though... But I'm glad that all my people are going, and that some of my brothers' friends, and some other people who aren't saved that I know are going.

I get to work tomorrow. Yay. Can you feel the excitement? haha. Everyone wants to get up at 4:30 on a saturday morning, no?!

This wednesday begins my visa process. I am prepared with my passport, birth certificate, letter from I.T., vaccinacion record, and if the Salem P.D. can whip out my criminal record by tuesday evening, I'll have that too. I am told that it is a long, hard, expensive process, so I'm basically prepared to not have a visa within the next year or so. But, as long as I'm trying to get it, I can be in Mexico legally. Please pray for this process that it will go quicker than we expect, and not be ghastly expensive!
