new years eve!

today is new years eve! we are back home... i love traveling, but it's always so nice to be home. we have finals coming up, at school, so much of these next couple days will be devoted to studying! i spent about 3 hours yesterday cleaning my room, and filling a garbage bag with all the things i've kept, that are just garbage! which was good, but those hours will not be helping me on my finals. so today is all about studying, finishing an english project, and then relaxing!

i got a new picture in the mail of my compassion child, milagro, yesterday. she is growing up so fast on me! she also sent me a beautiful christmas card. it is amazing the way that god can totally open up doors and create a relationship, even between two people that are so different that you would never imagine us being friends. but god has torn down boulders, and i am loving seeing our relationship grow. milagro is now 7, and lives in El Salvador. AND, how could i forget?!? her baby brother is almost here! she is so excited to get to see him, she cannot stop talking about him!

more later... happy new years eve!
