Transitioning period..
It is currently Saturday the 14th of May and I am located in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. I have left outreach 4 days ago and I am having a holiday/transitioning time/ catch up with my friends time here. I am here for 2 more days and then I start my journey back to England.
I need to confess that I haven't been the best in keeping up to date with my blog.
I haven't updated about my last weeks of outreach so here is a rough outline about what we had been doing.
Our remaining days in Ensenada consisted of helping out in the community and the base, but my highlight was definately when we were able to build a house for a family. There were 6 people in the family, and the house we built for them was probably 4x6 meters. It was such a great experience, and really humbling, to know that with $5000 and 2 days of labour, a whole house could be built and a family's life could be changed.
When we moved back to Tijuana, we had mainly resting days, doing work duties on the campus and getting ready to leave Mexico. It didn't really hit me that this would be my last week in Mexico, and I am still kind of in denial. Either denial or I am becoming numb to saying goodbye, as I have to so often. YWAM. When we left Mexico we had to wake up at 3am to cross the Mexican border and that took us 3 hours. The rest of the team left to go to the Dominican Republic that morning and they ended up missing some of their connections but they got there eventually.
As I said before, I am currently in Hawaii, transitioning from Outreach to going back to normal life. When I am back in England I will be catching up and finishing school and I have no idea what I will be doing in the summer but I hope I can go on outreach again (ahee).
Thankyou for all making this possible for me to go, It has been a life changing experience and I appreciate you all so much!!
Mucho Amor, Elisa :) <3
p.s. 360 I miss you guys! </3
