This is the hardest part: saying goodbye to these friends that I have made! :'( I have gotten to know so many wonderful people here, who have become actual friends, that it will be difficult to leave, having very little guarantee that I will see them again! One of the great things about traveling over the last semester is that I have realized the world is smaller than I thought. What I mean is, I never know when I will run into someone! Until then, Facebook and WeChat are great inventions!
I'm reminding myself to be still. At this point my brain is already focused on going back, and wondering about keeping up with Chinese when I go home. It is not productive to allow myself to be distracted by things that haven't even happened yet! This morning I listened to "It Is Well," by Kristene Dimarco, which just reminded me of the week before I came here. I was nervous about coming to a new country and throwing myself into a language I didn't understand. Well now I'm in the opposite position, getting used to "real life" again. This doesn't change the fact that the Father is COMPLETELY in control! He is not surprised by anything that will happen :) Now I will just have to wait and see!....
