Pues...

We just finished the debriefing for the summer missionaries and it was really awesome. All the groups shared their testimonies and it was really great to get to hear what all happened all over Peru this summer. My favorite part was getting to hear testimonies from the Peruvian translators that served over the summer. It was amazing to get to be a part of all of this. I was thinking of two of the girls I've gotten to know well, Noemí and Sulam. I remember when they both went on their first mission trip as a translator with REAPSouth. We all took a bus to Cusco and Noemí was so sick from all the windy mountain roads that I thought she would never go back on another mission trip. But both of them served over parts of the summer in different locations.

My last class was really awesome. They did what they called "Heather Trivia" to see how much everyone knew about me. Then they gave me a Perú jacket and this awesome necklace of Peru. Susie also made me a carrot cake and some no bake cookies. It didn't really hit me though that it was my last class and since I still have time left I wasn't ready to say goodbye. So before I leave next week I am going to get together with a bunch of the translators to officially say goodbye. I still can't believe how close it is to August 11th! I've got some pictures from my last class but I'll have to post those later.

Hey Heather,
As much as I want you to come home, my heart breaks for you and the friends that you have made there. I know that it will be very difficult to leave them behind. May God's grace cover each and everyone of you. Please tell them how much your Mom appreciates them all taking such good care of you.
11 days and counting!

I love you!
Mom
