Halfway There

Sophomore year done.
Yes!

This year was absolutely crazy, I learned a lot. Although I don't feel as though I know nearly enough for getting ready to start my junior year. Shouldn't I know stuff now? Like, how to be grown up?

God provided in amazing ways this year, I'll go into detail about how amazing that was to watch in a little while. For instance though, I still owe no money to my school at all, and I got a job over the phone, with no interview--so I didn't have to stay at school this summer to work.

I had great roommates, great classes, great teachers, and great friends (well, I still have great friends, I guess you could say I made some great friends) Two of whom are actually on their way to Ghana right now. They're going to be working with a missionary family and some local pastors. Their trips are always insanely busy, please keep the whole team in your prayers as they serve God in Ghana, West Africa.

God is always good.

June 9 Recap

Hey everybody, what´s up?

Nothing much happened yesterday, stayed at home and read mostly.

Then Rachel had her Bible study, at which I also read, since I don´t speak spanish. So, I´ve made it through two books in about 3 days.

Today was kinda the same thing. I read, and watched and episode of Robin Hood online, then Rachel came home and she slept, and I read, and halfway watched another episode of Robin Hood.

Then we went to Ceci´s house, then to Jockey Plaza-a mall-and got cinamon rolls, yum, and leftovers for breakfast.

We nearly got into a fight with a taxi driver, but I wasn´t nervous, Ceci seemed to know what she was doing, even though I couldn´t understand everything that was said.

I did pick up that he was unhappy.

Wasn´t nervous though, I don´t know, I was just observing everything that happened and keeping my eye on the guy in the street, in case he decided he was on the taxi driver´s side.

Got to spend a couple of hours at Ceci´s house just listening to her and Rachel talk.

It was a Lot of fun!

my ´quarantine´ends tomorrow, and I can go to school.

Carolina, Ceci´s niece, has decided she likes me, and she picked me to sit next to her in the van :)

Alrighty, nothing else to say.

Night all!

June 3 Recap

Everything went very well!

Got through Security and everything in St. Louis pretty quickly, and then walked to my gate.

Have to say, walking through the airport by myself was pretty cool...

Got to the gate and a plane to Charolette was there, was confused for a little bit, but I was just there really early.

When the Plane was getting ready to board for Raleigh, the people at the gate were asking over the speaker for a minor, then asked for a Passenger Smith, so I got up and headed over. The lady looked confused and asked if I was travelling with papers.

What?

was my intelligent reply.

What´s your last name?

Smith.

Your first name?

Hannah.

Okay, never mind.

Turns out they were looking for a 9 and half year old Kaylee Smith, going to see her dad.

Hated the flight there, small plane, I wasn´t feeling good on that flight. Closed my eyes and half dozed through it.

Landed at Raleigh Durham and took about 20 steps to get to the next gate I needed. 

That was a cool little ariport.

The flight to MIA was much better. Sat in MIA for a couple of hours, but it wasn´t too bad, it wasn´t that difficult to find my gate either, even though I had to take the train out.

Walked with and elderly catholic lady going to Lima to visit some ´sisters´ that were down there.

It was fun to just watch people.

Sitting next to me were a family of four, going to Machu Pichu and Cuzco, Across from me was a German family (i spent probably 7 minutes trying to figure out what their passport said) The dad was listening to Michael W. Smith on his Ipod.

Sitting right next to me was Isabelle, from Peru. She has four sisters, one lives in FL and one in TX, she had been in FL for two weeks for her Nephew´s wedding. We held a relativley decent conversation with regards to the fact that I speak no Spanish at all. Her English was very broken but she was able to get her questions across. Love her. She told me when I come back to Lima, I need to go in the Summer. She was also the first person (not counting the flight attendant over the speaker) to welcome me to Peru when we had landed.

On the flight to Lima, I sat next to a man who was originally from Zambia, and now lives in Jamaca. He is an Irrigation engineer, and also a New Age Spiritualist.

He was very friendly and very helpful, helped me navigate through immigration and baggage claim.

Immigration actually didn´t take very long, the line moved pretty well, baggage claim took longer, or at least it seemed to, because I couldn´t find my bag.

Got through baggage check pretty quick and then walked through one set of doors, then another into a huge room with a massive amount of people, I walked slowly looking and listening for Rachel and there she was! I made it to Peru!

Started my day around 6.15, fell asleep around 1.30. It was fun though.

Now I´m sitting in Rachel´s house, updating. She´s at school and will be back shortly.

I´ve got Mythbusters in Spanish on in the background, for some noise, and I need to go find a spot for everything I brought.

By the way Melissa Ham, you are considered a hero for getting all of my stuff and Rachel´s stuff into that suitcase! Thanks so much for your help!

Alrighty, that´s all I´ve got for now.

Talk to ya all later!
