2 days left!

Well well well!!...

Here I am...counting down till my departure...2 more days...

I have to say that i am all of the sudden finding myself at a strange point in life. The past two weeks have been fairly exciting with the presence of a team from Rhode Island who was staying in the guest house along with most (and eventually all) of the Cail family. The cails were missionaries in Sebba, a town in the north-east of Burkina. They have been back in the U.S. for various reasons for now 4 years and all said it was great to be back...

So as most of you might know...I'm an extrovert...and I get my energy from being around people....so i've been quite energized!!..

I've also managed to see Christina Holley (a Canadian STA whom I knew from training week) twice!!...(and I thought I'd never see her again when I dropped her off in Yako!...heh)...The team left early this morning (2:30am was when their plane was leaving...) and the Cails took off to go visit Sebba for a week since it's been so long. They left at about noon...and so from then, I was all alone!

So I packed!! heh... I yet have to weigh my bags and figure out how I'm doing in that domaine...but so far so good..everything fits...and I have lots and lots of stuff to bring back....so hopefully I wont' have weight problems...

Last night was a really fun night. I went out with 8 other people (4 missionaries from here and 4 visitors of Jane's) and we went to a fancy restaurant near SIM called Gondwana. WOW!!...the decor alone would make it worth going...but the food just made my day! I wil bragg and admit that I had the very best steak I've EVER had in my life! (and I like my steak and have had some pretty good ones with my mom and grandma as cooks my whole life! so it's not little for me to say this...) I also had some scalopped potatoes...YUMM....and to top it off, a caramel flanc!! I thought I was close to death from too much good food!! a meal of kings is what we had I tell you!...as appetizers, we had 4 differnt kinds of dips to pass around the table and they were also woonderful, a tapenade (green olive dip...made my day!! hehe), a chick pea hummus!!, a mangoe salad dip!!, and a cheese/leak/shrimp dip...now that one made me melt!!!!!....ok...so other than food...well...it was just a really nice evening! and I got to see the team off as they left for the airport...

Tonight is ISO dinner with the Dartnells and Dave Kubiak who I met twice. we hung out during the prayer weekend...I never got a picture of him...so maybe tonight will be a good time for that!

I'm really excited to get home and see everybody!

See you soon!!
