Final Post

Hey all,

Some of you may have already heard the change in plans, but it turns out my work in La Palmera is wrapping up a bit sooner than planned. I travelled with the Minneapolis team to Santa Cruz yesterday and will be staying here with some friends until it´s time for me to head back to the States. It should be a very nice time of transition between working in La Palmera and heading back to my final, busy, year of University.

The past few weeks have been quite busy with the team here. As usual we kept them involved in all of the activities and were constantly on-the-go! We had our second camp out at the Chaco, for the younger kids. The theme was obedience and it was a huge success with dozens of salvations! One of my favorite things about the team being here was going to Church family homes for dinner. I went to 4 or 5 and was meant to translate at them. Despite being a bit nervous, I was able to translate so it boosted my confidence in speaking in Spanish quite a lot! Plus we always learn so much about the familes when we´re at their homes...

Well I gotta go get ready for the team´s last dinner in Santa Cruz. If time permits I may write some last reflections and thoughts before I head back to the USA...

Thanks to everyone for all of your support - financial, prayer, etc! It was a huge blessing and I´m very grateful.

God bless,
Laura
