update: 9 days left

Hello! I'm nine days from being home, and it's very bittersweet. I'm ready to get away from a lot of things and back to a lot of things, but I'm so sad to have to leave GKTW. I cannot believe how quickly the ten weeks has passed. My last day at GKTW is Saturday, August 1, then we have debriefing and that sort of thing the last few days. Oh, and a trip to Disney :) Anyway, GKTW is just such an amazing place, and I can't imagine not being there six days a week now. I've gotten to know so many of the staff at GKTW, and have become great friends with a few of them. Leandra and I had breakfast with our closest friend, Jenny, this morning, and have plans to go out with her several more times this week. We also had quite the scare this morning. After we left breakfast, Jenny was headed to work at GKTW and we were a few minutes behind her on our way back to camp. We saw a wreck on the side of the road, and the front end of the car was totaled. As we drove past, we realized it was Jenny's car, made an immediate u-turn, and went to go talk to her. She ended up having to go to the hospital, and so we went with her, because her parents live an hour and a half away and were going to be a while. We got to stay in her room in the ER with her and keep her company, which she so appreciated because she was really shook and didn't want to be there by herself. She's fine, minus a lot of bruising and cuts, but there's nothing serious.
Tonight, the girls are getting all dolled up and going out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. I'm so excited! It's going to be a great time!
Since my last post, three more kids have been led to Christ through the Kids Clubs we do. It's so great to see the fruit of our hard work. God has been doing a lot of work, and we've been able to share the Gospel with so many children over the summer, and even though we haven't seen a lot of salvations, I know we've been planting seeds.
I can't wait to see everyone soon! I miss being with my family and friends back home, but have been so blessed to have made new friends from all over the country since I've been here.
