As I sat in the airport in Ecuador I couldn't help but cry. I can't believe the semester is over already. I sat there reflecting on the semester and wondering how it went so fast. I wondered how it would feel to go back to Trinity and see my friends and family. I wondered how it would feel to step on American soil and flush my toilet paper.
As I drove up to Trinity on Friday, I was greeted my my best friend and crazy roommate, Melissa, jumping up and down on the side of the road. I JUMPED out of the car and gave her a huge hug and the two of us immediately started balling. I couldn't believe I was actually here. As we drove into the parking lot in front of our building, the rest of my friends and roommates came running to the car. It felt SO GOOD to hug all my friends and see their beautiful faces.
It's been rough to transition straight into the busy life of visiting people and attending activities at Trin. It's hard to have half conversations with so many people, but the ones I have had about my heart have been wonderful. I've been able to share that God taught me so much this semester. He taught me to trust Him. He taught me that I can't do it on my own. He taught me how important it is to talk to Him. He taught me how to support and love my friends in a better way. He taught me to listen to His voice. I can't wait for Him to keep teaching me and to keep learning how to take those new lessons from my semester abroad into the summer.
