Day 7 at RH and departure for next site

7/18/10
Today was a FULL day. This morning we had church at RH. Crazy enough there was a YWAM team from Montana and their leader was a friend of my older sister's. Creepy how I keep running into these YWAMers. Anyway, after church we had to say goodbye to the girls. I wrote my girl a note but I couldn't find her for the longest time. At the last moment I saw her walking away from the bus by herself. I went after her and she gave me lots of hugs. Neither her nor I cried though. When I let go and got on the bus, I watched her from the window and she and I kept doing silly hand signals like making hearts with our hands. She just kept making me laugh! Funny thing is, I don't think she was as attached to me as I was to her. Later we took a three hour bus ride to our next site. There is a smaller RH there. It was weird at this RH at the beginning because none of the team wanted to engage the girls there. I think it was because we were all emotionally drained and were afraid to be hurt again by having to leave so soon. But after awhile, we all warmed up with a long but well loved game of "Little Sally Walker." I'm still glad to be here though. It took some time for me to mentally agree to that but I finally have.
