Mad. 59

I went to market for the last time with Stacy, today. I have mixed feelings about it. I'm thankful it's the end of being stared at constantly, but I have a feeling I'm going to miss observing all the beautiful Malagasy. 

I'm also going to miss the Niles a lot. I'll miss waking up to Isaac and Maria's cute little faces peeking in my door each morning, watching them giggle at each other, listening to Isaac's bizarre stories of what he's going to do when he grows up, hearing Maria say "tota" every time she falls down... I'll also miss talking with Stacy one-on-one about life and hearing her advice about missions while cooking or cleaning. I'll miss game nights with Marc and Stacy and meals with the whole family. I'll miss hearing all Marc and Stacy's stories and taking walks with the family. You can really become attached to a family in two months!

I'm thankful I have things to look forward to when I go back home because otherwise, leaving here would be extremely difficult.
