Summer...is soo close!

This year has gone really fast! and I am soo thankful for that.  There is a lot I am looking forward to doing this summer.  I get to see my family that lives in California and Oregon in June, and go to our lake house in Culver, IN with them.  I also am really excited to go back to Costa Rica at the end of July.  I'm going with my youth group for a week and a half for a missions trip.  This will be my fourth time going, and I love it!  We spend the time helping build or fix up houses or just doing anything that needs to be done.  It's amazing because it's completely out of anyones comfort zone.  Last summer, we were sent to a village of a population of about 250.  I stayed with a host family for 5 days, and helped them build their new church.  Some of its like wayyyy beyond out of my comfort zone.  Like near the house I was staying at there was a farm that had a few pigs, which I didn't think anything of...until the next day I saw one of the pigs hanging upside down ready to be killed.  That night guess what was for dinner??? yepp, the pig.  It never seemed to end either, we have it in different styled meals for the next couple days.  Lets just say I was very hungry for those days, because I seriously could not eat it.
