My Fourth Full Day. 4/7 done.
Only three more full days.
This morning we woke up late & returned to Villa Catalina. I didn't see many of the children from yesterday. They were skipping school, we found out today, & so a lot of them didn't get to eat.
Angie was teaching a woman to do nails, so she practiced on mine several times. I never guessed I'd go on a mission trip and have my nails done.
Stephanie D. & I talked about the first thing we' do when we get home. I decided I want some ice cream, then a shower. I'd like to have my long bath, but I'll want to spend time with my parents & Jimmy. So I'll probably take a quick shower.
The rest of the group are back. I'm glad we only have a few more days. I don't like being around so many people constantly. It freaks me out.
We're not going to get to go shopping! I'm glad I got everyone volcano rocks!
We're ordering pizza tonight. I'm sure the cooks are happy about that.
I want to be home so badly. I miss everyone & everything so much. I know I'm doing a wonderful thing, but...I miss home.
I can hardly hold in all this emotion. I'm so glad I didn't go with the bigger group to El Capulin, the fishing village. I don't think I would have survived.
I've still been homesick, but it's returned full-force with the arrival of this big group. I feel so lost among them, & I just want to go home, where people know, understand, & care for me. They may here, but I want to be with people I really love. I want to hug my parents & curl up on the couch with Jimmy's arm around me, take a real shower...I've never wanted anything more.
No more foreign mission trips without Mom, Dad, or Jimmy for me!
