end of an amazing week...

This has been an amazing week so far!  Getting here was rough but the process, from my dinner with friends and family last weekend to today have been unforgettable!  Overall the week has gone slow since I have been here.  Not a whole lot to do, we usually have a lot when the teams are here with us, then it gets crazy!  Everyone tells me to be thankful of the quiet time I am getting, but I say, "bring on the teams!!!!"  I'm so ready for everyone to get here!  Especially my friend Kayla who is interning with me for a month, I know it will go fast when she gets here!
Today it was so nice that I got to sit out on the beach!  It was so warm and nice!
Time is flying by so fast!  I was thinking the other day as I stared out the window, "what am I going to do when I have to leave!?  How can I leave?!"  But then I remembered I have two months, sixty-one days to be exact!  So I think I will be okay!!!!
There are a lot of things I am learning around the house, it is so big and there is so much to manage around here!  It's crazy, but I love it!  When I pulled up the house with Richie when we got here on Wednesday I just wanted to go hug it, I know - you're thinking, she's weird! But if you only knew the experiences you wouldn't think I was so weird after all! - ANYWAYS, so I wanted to hug the house and I was telling Richie that I couldn't believe that I was here!  It was all SO UNREAL!!!!  I still can't believe it, it's like a dream!  It is so crazy!  One thing I will definitely miss tomorrow morning is going to the church I have been going to back home with my best friend and her family!  Oh gosh, have fun guys!  Enjoy it double for me tomorrow!!!
Well... I think that's all for today!  Talk to you guys soon!!!  Love you all and miss you!  See you in no time!!!  Keep up the prayers, they're helping loads!
All my love and God bless!

Hi Elyse!

I really enjoyed reading your blog. The quiet time is probably nice for meditating and sharing some personal one on one time with God. I know you are taking in every breath you are there. Please watch out for my baby when she gets there. Kayla has been dreaming of the day she would return to the beautiful green isle. I look forward to hearing from you both and the lives touched through your witness. Kayla hopes to do some video blogs or a documentary. Make sure you get on there a lot. It will be a really cool thing to share with family once she edits in on your return. I love you both and your mom is amazing by the way! She has helped put my mind at ease so much! Have a blessed time! Love, Julie
