Dear Friends,
Found out today that Ben & Jerry's has a new ice cream flavor called "Red Velvet Cake". It's delish.
So tomorrow I head back into the ADK for my last shift of work. I will doing a double shift which means I will be in the field for 16 days in a row instead of 8 (I will officially return on August 18th)! I'm not sure how they got me to agree to this but if anything, it is going to be an excellent challenge to my emotional, physical, and psychological stamina. I am trying hard to keep a positive mindset about it all because honestly that will make or break my next two weeks. I know for definite that I will be spending if not one, then both weeks with Group E (hooray!) which I am so excited about. I hope to use this time to fine tune my bow drilling skills, practice staying in the here and now, and to allow for this to be an opportunity for deeper self-awareness.
Please pray for me! Pray that I will continue to hold a positive outlook on the rest of my time here. Pray that I will be able to focus mentally on the girls' growth instead of being consumed by thoughts of myself. Pray that I will have patience and compassion for them!!! And pray that I will be sensitive to the movement of the Spirit, his reasoning for my continued presence here, and what he is trying to teach me. If you are planning on sending me any mail after August 12th I would ask you to send it to my parents home where I will be traveling to next (9517 Charlesfield Dr. Fredericksburg, VA 22407)
Love, La Loba
PS I have a jar of Nutella AND a bar of chocolate.
