Eight days and a wake-up

Eight days and a wake up. We used to say this when we were little and living in Turkey. It would indicate how much time we had left before we returned to the states. Well I have eight days and a wake up before I leave MEXICO. (we never counted the day we left it was our wake up.) It has been hard!!! I have been packing for the last two days. The good thing is I can keep my furniture in the same house because Bethany is going to continue to rent. Pray as I say goodbye to my Mexican friends. Last weekend I went on a church retreat. I told myself I would not cry, but I ended up crying. Even the deacon of our church was crying. This week I will be having many going away parties. I will be leaving April 28th in the morning. Hope to see my friends in Maryland soon.
