Changes?

We have tickets to fly home on July 16 at 9:10 a.m. So things are getting a little crazy around here!
Half packed suitcases, last time things, cleaning, visiting, sewing, and you can imagine...
It's exciting to go back to Missouri but so hard to leave here. We are leaving our mission house here and the native brethren and fellow missionaries are coming here every week or two until we get back. So a night or two every once in a while is better than sitting empty. But I'm feeling pessimistic or something. As most of you know we lost all our belongings in a fire back in Mo. So now about that pessimistic feeling, what if our "stuff" here would get stolen? I know God will not give us more than we can handle but will you help me pray that everything here will be fine? Or is that selfish?

I have this chokey sensation in my throat when I think of going home. Is it excitement or a little fear? What will people think when Corbin pees outside? Its just what boys do here... After all big grown men out right beside their vehicle very close to the road do it. You just look the other way:) And he talks Spanglish.... He says he'll just stay here with Filimom in Raices. He says I not be sad you leave me con Filimon. Vamos a morales con la moto a ver las vacas. (with Filemon. We are going to Morales with the moto and see the cows)

Megan, 6 years old only remembers Papa's bunk bed and the other Grandpa's sand box. She was 3 when we came.... She has been crying very easily and the other day said she didn't want to go to first grade in Mo.
They don't know what carpet is or padded church benches??

Shakara also says she'll just stay in Raices but with Salomons and their 18 year old Louis says he'd like to go to the states. So his sister Ruth says we can just trade children! Shakara was 5 when we came so I like to think she will remember at least most of the people back home...

I'm looking forward to coffee parties, lots of talking, some sewing, picnics, and just spending some good times with all my friends and family!!!

But, my hubby might work a few days a week and we've been together 24/7 for 2 and 1/2 years. So there will be a few ajustments to put it mildly. He's probably ready for a break but am I? Scary...

So if you think of us sigh a prayer or two if you would. Lots of other missionaries have done this and before we know it we'll be back here in Mexico!
