Today I had my took my last bike ride that cost me only $.15.
Today I ate my last $.15 fruit popsicle.
Today I went to the Sias Cafe that has sustained me with cheese sticks and cherry cokes all summer and ate them one last time.
Today I slept on my two foam piece bed for the last time.
Today I battled with the broken washing machines for the last time.
Today I climbed the 66 steps to our room for the last time.
Today I said goodbye to my summer camp family and gave them the last hugs.
TOMORROW... I'll walk on american soil for the first time in almost 7 weeks.
TOMORROW... I'll breathe the clean air of home.
TOMORROW... I'll be (almost) HOME!!! (gotta go to a friend's wedding first)

It was wonderful to meet you (and serve with you)after reading your inspiring blog as I prepared to volunteer for the last week of camp. I trust the Lord will provide you with the new job you mentioned and will give you the clear direction you seek for your life. I will keep you in my prayers.
