In Conclusion...

Saturday is the last day of this summer. I was wondering if I'll cry or not, thinking that I won't, I realized that I'm probably crazy. This "Summer of Service" has probably been the best Summer of my life. (All of a sudden I'm INCREDIBLY distracted by something that smells disgusting at the laundromat) Yet again I realize that God is constantly talking to me even when I don't realize it.

My lovely room mates, plus Helanie, who left way too soon.












My friend Ryan who brings me so much joy it's almost ridiculous.





ISABEL... the loveliest person I have ever met.









During the beginning of this summer I was praying that God would bring more joy into my life.


More Laughter.



I got way more than I expected.






I have felt more free to be myself, more free to love, more free to not care, to not hurt, to be independent, to be who I was created to be than ever before.



What excites me the most is the fact that I know that this is just the beginning of and incredible journey. I am going to miss all of these people so much, but with me I am taking away a part of them. More than memories; they have helped me to be more of who I am, enabled me to be free. I love them all. I love them all so much.




(I don't have pictures of everyone.... yet)
