We had our final meeting with our servant team and officially handed over the ministry to them. How exciting! Here they are, they are great students truly committed to the Lord.

19
19 days, less than 3 weeks! Until we leave Merida....I can't believe it. It feels very surreal....My mix of emotions includes excitement/sadness/worry/confusion/anxiousness/glee/anticipation....and a million others. These last three weeks we are mainly focusing on making sure the students are fully equipped to run everything without us...as well as concluding all the details of living here (ie: moving everything into the storage facility (that's an hour away...ugh), re-painting the apartment, paying/ending bills, flight information, storage of weekly meeting equipment, etc etc etc...) Therefore I don't have anything super exciting to write about...However....here are a few picture updates of life recently.
Like I said in my last blog, my friend Rafael came to visit from the States (although...he could easily pass for a Venezuelan with his Salvadorian heritage) and we had a great time hanging out....like the old days when I was on project!
Lucia, my closest friend and disciple here, finished her classes and headed off for family vacation in England (to visit a sister there) and so for our last lunch together we went up into the mountains to a castle! It was freezing, but fun :)
Rafa and I took a trip to the zoo....
The summer project took over English Club, and they're doing a great job leading it with a ton of enthusiasm!
We had a goodbye fiesta for Eben...he got to dance with EVERY lady in the house! 
Rafa and I also had fun trying to figure out what we were doing...haha.
Riots have begun again...this time they are protesting death. Ironically, the day after the first protest, a medicine student was shot. This has only spurred on the riots....
The whole apartment needs to be repainted as we're moving out, so Amanda have been using our nights and weekends to do that.....and having a little fun with it as well ;)
I apologize for the lack of ministry updates at this time, we are definitely in the winding down process. This week will be my last discipleship appointments with my girls, and the rest will mostly be moving out stuff....Today is our last big meeting with the servant team, and we will be commissioning the new leaders to LEAD their movement next year...I'm excited to see how it goes....and see them take ownership.
