Back from the reentry program

hey! so like I just got back from the most amazing 13 days ever with around 30 or so other missionary kids. It was such a beneficial time, it was a time that God used to really give me hope that everything is ok and that it is possible to adjust to life in the USA. I really connected quite fast with everyone and they all taught me soo much stuff... it was amazing to hear their mk stories and even though they are like polar opposite then my experiences we can still relate so easily ... I really came to love everyone at the seminar .. thanks guys for making my time at the reentry seminar the most memorable and beneficial time thus far in my life here in the USA.. i really do truly love all of you!! (a lot more than just having compassion for you! jeje)

so I am dead tired.. we pulled an all nighter last night and didn't sleep a wink, and I have to work tomorrow very early in the morning.. My life living in the Mk bubble has ended and I am back in the real world!! :S jejeje..

So I am back in the world where the question .. "Where are you from?" "Where is home?" takes on a whole different meaning.. but you know what?? I am ready for what is to come .. the seminar helped me get ready.. I am still scared don't get me wrong.. but I think now I am ready!

support system..

I am really learning about the significance of having a good support system. A really good tight nit group that I know will always be there for me and I will always be there for them... please pray that I am able to find the support system needed quickly as I enter into college..

San Fransisco with the tios!!

ok so about 5 days before I came here to the reentry program in LA I was able to go to San Fransisco and hang out with my aunt and uncle for 5 days. It was literally the best 5 days I have had in a looooong time! I was able to just really have a breather and be able to sleep in. I felt

more at home there than I have ever since I stepped foot back on American soil. We went to the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE!! which by the way is NOT gold! jejeje omgoodness.. i was soo excited I acted like a freakin wierd tourist! jeje.. but I loved it.. we went to chinatown and japantown and had the most amazing food in this one place! jeje.. It was soo awesome to be back into a big city and the fact that basically at all times I was hearing more than one language.. it made me feel soo much at home.. I had a blast! thank you auntie and uncle for such an amazing time!

mk reentry!

ok, so as an MK i know i am pretty wierd... but as I have learned I am not alone in this! jeje.. i have been in CA for about a week and a half and I have another week to go.. and I have been at an mk reentry program. What this program is is basically mks from all over the world come through here on there way back to the USA to study at college. The people here at the program kind of help us get back into the swing of things and adapt to living in the US culture. And the thing that is most valuable to me is it gives us 2 weeks with people my own age who have gone through similar experiences and we are able to connect so well and have amazing talks. I have been here less than a week so far and I have become so close to everyone so quickly... God is really using this time to be a launching pad for a lot of transition and change that I am going to be going through. He has and is providing a support system for me. thank you God!
