^team harvesters has my heart<3

 

this has been the hardest blog to start. i keep writing and then deleting and then write again just for the cycle to continue. i don’t have the right words to describe how i’m feeling right now. to leave a community that i loved so much, a life that i fell so in love with, and a culture that i learned so much from is heartbreaking. yet, i look back feeling so grateful that i was chosen to endure such an adventure. i feel grateful that i was placed with such an amazing group that each taught me some thing I will keep forever. What surprised me the most throughout this trip was how much I was minister to rather than me ministering to others. Right when I was ready to pour the others somehow these people are the ones supporting to me. It has been such a beautiful experience. I cannot wait to take all these nuggets with me and apply them to my life at home. I could describe all the lessons I learned, and the highs and lows, but would be too much to say in one blog post.

now I’m back home in 30 degree weather and apparently it’s almost Christmas time??? I returned to hot showers, fast food, and air conditioning. but, i’ve left a family, and an exciting adventure. it’s truly bitter sweet. i’m excited to see what God has in store for me in the next couple months to follow before my next adventure! thank you all for following me and supporting me on this journey. i wouldn’t have been able to do it without ya’ll! 

goodbye blog. goodbye to a wonderful season. 

goodbye M3.
