DEFI departs...

Ce matin the last of DEFI headed out. Justin will be back after Noelle for another month of equipier goodness. Other than that we all hope that someday we will be reconnected at some point here on this earth and if not well its gonna be a great party when this family gets to heaven!

It's been a hectic and also pretty sad past couple of days. Not only has DEFI been slowly heading out, but our other equipiers are all headed home for the holidays or are finished working here. It's really over. I guess I need to once again get used to things ending. I hate endings. I need to go dig myself a hole if I ever want to get away from them, they are everywhere all the time. And my other friends back home are all heading back home from their colleges. I want to see them all and my family soooo much. I guess I'm home sick. For one of the first times since I've been here I kinda want to faire ma valisse and catch the next plane home to ya'll. I think I'll go to Boston. Think I need a sunrise, tired of the sunset. Yes I stole that.

I read a quote by Donald Miller in my new favorite book Through Painted Deserts (which for the record I recommend to anyone who is literate). He says "It might be time for you to go. It might be time to change, to shine out. I want to repeat one word for you:
leave
Roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful word, isn’t it? So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don’t worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed."
I love it. I really love it. I know I needed to leave. I'm not sure I think everyone needs to, but I needed to have my own adventure, see the world a bit. I have. I'm glad I did. I'll never be the same. Yet I want home now too. I guess it's true that home doesnt change, people do, but home doesnt, at least for me. I'm going to go back and it will be mostly the same, it's me that will have changed.

Yea tonight we had another fete this time for the church we attend. We decorated the Grange super fancy and then served dinner there. It was really fun. It's nice to be included in the church body. My favorite part was when we all had to become the manger scene. We had adults pretending to be sheep. It was a great night. Now we're all slowly heading to bed...kinda. Tomorrow is our last day of work before we get vacation until the 26th. Fun Fun.

Well that's about all the news I have right now. I'm gonna go dig a hole or something. Maybe I'll settle for my bed. Our room smells a little like a hole right about now. Our heater basically exploded with water....hmm. I have no idea either. But it did. Nice story right?

On that wonderful note. Sleeeeeeppppp
