nos vemos. adios. bye bye.

i guess it's time for me to give my official goodbye. i don't remember ever making an official blog announcement about my departure, so i guess this is it. i leave puerto plata tomorrow at 4pm, and i'm not quiet sure when i'll be back. but there is no doubt that i will come back.

i'm returning to austin to work on my master's thesis, which is about 2 years over due. i now only have one year left, so i decided it would be wisest to get going on that.

it's kind of strange as i sit here in any empty MAK house, my suitcases on the floor - and full. it was this time last year that i was UNpacking them, and now i'm repacking. it's all a bit surreal.

it has been an incredible year and i will truly miss this place. but the great thing is that my goodbye doesn't mean the end of the work. even after i leave, 3 summer interns will remain (constance, philip and rebecca), with 3 full time staff (robin, jennie & miguel) waiting for the return of camille and the arrival of a new teacher (kate), not to mention those who are always here, like crisitina and ruben.

please continue to pray for all of these people as they continue with the work that the Lord is doing through MAKARiOS.

nos vemos!
