The ending begins

Hello again. Sorry I didn’t post last week. We had some internet issues at school. As for this week, I am tired. It went very fast though. I had been staying at the Hudlow house with 3 teenagers for two weeks until this past Tuesday. That was a lot of fun and a huge blessing, but also very tiring. You have to think differently when you are now looking out for 3 others and feeding 3 others, (2 teenage boys).
I know only have 8 days of teaching left. Monday and Tuesday of this next week are holidays for Cameroon, which means no school for us. So hopefully I can get my last days planned and work on goodbye notes to my beloved students.
A tradition at the school is to take some time during lunch to express your appreciation for the staff who are leaving. Today was my day, along with some others. I was truly blessed and encouraged by what the students had to say. Those who I never expected I truly impacted were the most who spoke up. I am blessed and encouraged.
This weekend they high school has their Banquet. Which is somewhat equivalent to prom in the states. (Only ballroom dancing though). I get to attend and sit with one of my students. It should be a lot of fun and another level of saying goodbye. Following banquet there is an after party at a students house, that the everyone is invited to. I have been one of several who have been asked to chaperone that. It is until 6 am and they don’t sleep. So I am very grateful to have off Monday and Tuesday.
Our volleyball season ended last Saturday with my team (I was one of two assistant coahes) taking the trophy in the tournament. I was proud of the girls. They had some awesome rallies and showed great improvement. I learned a lot too.
Well I am going to go. It has been a long day and I need some exercise then rest.
I hope you are well. I fly into Pittsburgh on July 4th. I have 48 days until I leave for home. I will never understand time and how it flies by yet moments of it can be so long.
God bless you all.
