| NILI 8 (L to R, Back: Lucy, Caity, Katy, Jessie, Laura, Amanda, Meghan, Andrew) (Front: Simone, Jenna, Joel, Spencer, Evelyn) The picture was taken at one of our farewell traditions. Each semester we gather at Evelyn's house and the students make a typical 'North American' meal for the professors. It is a fun time to share part of our culture with the professors after a semester of the professors sharing their culture with us. It's with mixed emotions that I write this blog post. NILI 8 is ending today and all the students are leaving tonight and tomorrow. The summer semester is only 8 weeks in length so just about the time you are getting to know the students they are leaving. Each NILI group has it's own personality and character. This group loves to cook at Lucy's house and be sarcastic with just about everyone. It's hard sometimes to tell when they are joking and when they are being serious. They are all going home to finish out there summer vacations and process all they have learned this semester. It's sad to see them go but I am excited for them in all their plans they have for the upcoming months. I think the hardest part of working in NILI is how quickly people come and go from my life. ***I have my Visa and for 2 years! Thanks for your prayers! |

Kim,
you truly have the gift of hospitality. You have made this summer in Ecuador incredible! It is with a heavy heart that I will head into the airport in the hours that come. Thanks for all that you do. I may even drink a Starbucks in honor of you.
