this, and then, and then, and then

  Monday, December 18th, 12:00 am  First I finish reading this book, then I write the book Report for "Expository Writing", then I study for my "Expository Writing" final which is tomorrow, then I go to bed for probably just 4 hours since by this time it will be 4 am maybe? then I wake up, get in the shower, get out of the shower, you know, dress up, then I do my quiet time, I look at my "Expository Writing" notes again and then I clean my room a little bit and go to room 224 to take my exam. Then I come back sleep before lunch, then go to lunch, then PACK MY BIG SUITCASE!!!!!! SO EXCITING!!!! since the small one is full of CHRISTMAS presents. (yeah, I'm Santa this year). Then I hang aroung my dorm, you know, bother some people. Then I'll go to the BBC bookstore, get 2 t-shirts (dad and brother), and a mug for my dad. Then I'll come back, go to dinner with Jess Tucker, then pack a little more, or unpack and pack again because this time it will be exciting to pack. Then I'll study for my Life Fitness final. (stinks) then I'll hand around my dorm again, bother some people. Then I'll study for Life fitness a little more, then I'll go to bed. Then I'll wake up, do my QTclean my room, go to my Life Fitness final. then come back, have lunch, and then I'll be heading to Philadelphia with Jess Hand. I'll be in her house for the part of the evening probably meeting her family. Then she will go to sleep and I will also go to sleep (which... not really....., by this time I'll be bitting my nails and pulling my hair of nervousness). Then at maybe 3 we will get ready to go to the airport. SO EXCITING !!!!!!!!!!  I'll be there all nervous loosing and finding my papers, and my head. Then we will say bye and I'll get on a big, big airlplane, it will take off and go to Houston. In the airplane I'll be looking at the clouds and thanking GOD for His goodness and Love. Specially now in such a speciall time. Then I'll get to Houston and wait there for 4 hours for my second flight. I'll probably be reading or just looking around, then I'll get in another big airplane and will be on it for a loooooong time. I'll just be praying, crying, reading, praying again, crying again, and of course getting a little dizzy. THEN AFTER A LONG TIME IN THE AIRPLANE THE FLIGHT-HOSTESS , will anounce the temperature in Lima and I WILL GET OUT THE AIRPLANE AND GET NERVOUS AND CRY AND SEE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AFTER A YEAR AND 3 MONTHS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE WILL HUG AND CRY AND KISS AND HUG AND CRY.  And then they will take me HOME !!!!!!!!!!!    I can't wait !!!!!!! ! I wish I could go to bed now and not have to wake up until wednesday afternoon.

Currently Reading Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds By Phillip E. Johnson see related

I am now 19 years old !!!, and I can't believe it. I feel like I'm still 5 or 6 years old. Specially when I talk to my Lord or see how he takes care of me. Do you ever feel like that? Thanksgiving break is next week. Can you believe that? It's already past my birthday, and I get to go home pretty soon !!!! I'm so excited, I can't wait to go home, there's a lot to do before that though. I wanted you guys to help me with something. It's not December yet, but, when I go home I'm going to have to go to the American Embassy and have a new appointment to get my visa renewed. I just ask you guys to pray for that. I've heard so many stories lately about people getting their visas cancelled or denied. Just pray so that I feel peace in my heart, knowing that the Lord is in control of every thing.

I will appreciate that.

Well I gotta go to bed. My roomie went to the superbowl in Philladelphia. 

God bless you

Ephesians 3:20-21

Ingrata yo??

 Wow !! Why is it so hard for me to write here ??? Sorry seriously. Well, last time I wrote I was a counselor in Word of Life Florida. Now I am all the way up in Pennsylvania. Can you believe that ?? Me, Elisabet Castro from Peru having spent one year in Florida ( which by the way is awesome but, does get cold for winter) (yeah, she's in for a big surprise!!..erica)  now in Pennylvania ??  Everybody is telling me that I'm in trouble since I just can't stop complaining of how cold it is. But, there you have, a prayer request, that I get to classes every morning and don't freeze in the middle of the way to class. It will be fun though, I know. Well here I am  at BBC in Clarks Summit, PA. I'm studying Secondary Education concentrated in Science.  Everything is going well so far. It's just a little bit hard to remember things from school. But it is definetly a huge challenge. 

Today was amazing.  We had our first Pep Rally ( I think that's how they call it). It was awesome, I had so much fun. I don't need to go to any concerts, what we have here is amazing. One of the things that keeps me excited lately, the Lord is soooo good, I'm gonna spend Christmas at home this year!!!! I'm so excited!! I can't wait. When I was little I would get so excited about anything that was supposed to happen, and then when they didn't  I would get sooo frustrated. So I've learned to wait until things are gonna happen for sure to get excited. Of course I know that the Lord can just change things according to His will. But I can now be excited about going home, I keep having dreams of me being home!!!

Here are some pics from school here at Baptist Bible College. I just praise the Lord day by day for having so many amazing things for me, every single day. Thanks for praying for me people!!!
