So in 3 weeks and 2 days I'll be home!!! I can't wait.
Right now, though, there are a few things that I need everyone to be praying for me in the meantime.
1. I REALLY need a car for the summer. I've been looking up rental prices for a vehicle for the summer and it's near $2,000!!! And that's not even including gas!!! I know that some people can't give necessarily give money, but pray that there is someone that might be willing to support a missionary by lending their car for the summer.
2. That I would be able to get everything done over here in time. Time is coming to a close...fast. And I have a LOT to do. In the next 3 weeks (in which I'm traveling every weekend) I have to finish up with school and the exams, move into my new apartment, introduce and interact with the high school missions team that's coming over, and say goodbye to everyone.
3. That I would be able to balance my life at home well and not stress too much. I already have come to the realization that I'm not going to be able to see everyone that I want to see, but it doesn't make it any easier to deal with. There's so much to do in such little time and I tend to be an overachiever. So, please pray that God will give me the ability to prioritize and to not stress over it all.
Those are the most important ones for right now- so please keep those in your prayers for the next 3 weeks!!

Class Trip
Yikes. Over a month since I blogged.
Well, this past weekend I went on a trip to a city in the north of Hungary with the class that I'm assistant form teacher to. It was fun, but anything except for restful. We stayed in a cabin and just hung out around the campsite and visited the zoo and stuff during the day. It was pretty low key. There was quite a bit of drama and a few hiccups, but that's to be expected when you have 21 high schoolers in a contained area.
It was a great time for me to get to relax and connect with all of my students outside of the classroom. I do that quite a bit with certain students, but there are a few that I'd really like to get to know more. I'm also super thankful for the time that I got to spend with one of my colleagues, Erika. She's an incredible woman who has helped me through so much this past year... I probably wouldn't have survived without her.
All-in-all it was a great trip, but it's definitely going to take me a while to recover from it. There are 3 weeks and 1 day left of school and I have to say that I'm rather pumped about my up and coming trip back to the States!
