back from Switzerland

so i'm back from Switzerland! we arrived late on saturday night. it was a fun time, but the trip there and back was long. we drove about 9hrs both ways.

most of our time was spent in the rain....blahhhh. but whats new? our last two days of camp (thursday and friday) were the best! it was excellent. and saturday was a beautiful day to return home. we drove through france, germany, and luxembourg.

this is a picture of one or our hikes. it was drizzling in the mountains but raining down in town.

im excited to say i actually got a tan. BUT who knows how long it will last because im back in belgium.

the biggest news is that in 10 days ill officially have been here for 3 months. definitely feeling the downhill of culture shock which i have expressed to many of you. yeah basically everything sucks and i just want to go back to what i know. not very many people are understanding me, i cant be myself, i have no friends, i cant just hang out, i have to worry about money all the time. i wonder if this is how life is supposed to be.

there are a few things that keep me going (besides God and my relationship with Christ)... some friends are coming in to town at the end of this week. wahoooo!!! people that actually care about me, that will rely on me, that need me, that support me, that know me. second, im still going home in December! amen for that! i am dyyyyyyyyyiiiinnnnnnggggg to see my friends and family. i want to go back to the life i know. i life i spent so long building. the place where i can help others and others can help me.

most of you know this is a little out of my element since im always chipper, happy, and excited about life. id really like to see myself out of this somber state, so if you need something to pray about, this would be a good thing. thank you :)
