All good things must come to an end...

The past couple of days have been my last ones in South Africa. I am on the plane right now from DC to LAX, and I have a mix of emotions. Excitement, nervousness, tiredness, anticipation, tiredness (getting on another 5 hour flight after an 18 hour flight can do that to you :)), and many more emotions. I do not know how I am even awake right now! I don't even know where to begin wth my story of this semester in South Africa. I ahve experienced some of the most exciting, thrill-crazy adventures, but I also have experienced some of the lowest moments in my life seeing the poorest of the poor. I have encountered and taken care of many people infected and dying from HIV, which has really challenged my faith. I am excited for my journey back home, and I am looking forward to beginning the process of growth and understanding of everything that I have expereinced, but I am little scared too. But I am so thankful to my family, school, and God so much for the opportunity that they gave me to come to South Africa. Thank you everyone who supported me, prayed for me, sent me packages :), and skyped me while I was gone. Thank you for always thinking of me! :) You guys are the best. My trip would not have been the same without your support, and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. I have seen, learned, and experienced countless things during my time in South Africa, and it will be a trip that I will never forget for the rest of my life. So, as I have ended all my other blogs....UNTIL NEXT TIME....OR SHOULD I SAY.....UNTIL NEXT TRIP.....
