I am sorry it has been so long since I have written and updated everyone on what has been happening in Guatemala. I do want to get you up to date and so I have to start with what is weighing heavily on me right now. I will be coming home on Friday, June 22nd. Last night I was not feeling well and after a few tests it was deceided that it would be best for me to come home where I can receive adequate care and support. Do not get me wrong, the directors and other interns took great care of me and it is tremendously appreciated. I am stable and will be prepared to fly on Friday. I want to thank everyone for the support they have provided me thus far and I ask, now more than ever, that you would please continue with your prayers and support focusing on my health concerns. I know I will get the care and attention that I need in the United States, it is just very hard for me to come to terms with having to leave early and feeling that I have left so many things unaccomplished. Please pray that my fears are calmed as I make arrangements to come home and that I can begin to see that this is for the best. I am sorry this is not a lively and fun update and I'm sorry that this is where my trip in Guatemala ends for now. I am already praying that I will be able to return and pick up where I am leaving off. On a brighter note, the team of 19 has arrived from Texas- mostly consisting of high school students or current grads. They all seem very nice, I look forward to getting to know them through out my last day here tomorrow. On Sunday the kids had a fundraiser in the square of Villa Nueva with the proceeds of about 1,500 pizzas through Domino's going to the Children's Home. It was a very neat event. Eslin and the younger girls danced beautifully to aide the effort. Well I am going to get some rest and I will try and update tomorrow on when I'll be flying. Thank you for your prayers and support that are immensely appreciated.
