This weekend was perfect. I could not have asked for a better weekend, even in the states! It was filled of new experiences, lots of quality friend time, and definitely memories I will never forget. Going for a night out participating in Korean Karaoke is something everyone must experience atleast two times in their lives! l Having wonderful weekends, make for a better call home to mama. It's not the usual, "how many days until Chrsitmas" phone call. For the e-mails, yes the ear is getting better, it sounds like I have a gallon or two of water in my ear, but I atleast am hearing! I got to go visit the orphange this weekend. It was the smiles and tender hearts of those girls, that drew me to Guatemala. The way 50 orphan girls loving on you the way they do, is a feeling of love that wraps you in, and intoxicates you... in a good way. Those girls hold a very special place in my heart, and forever will. I was surprised pleasantly when I went for a visit, and saw one of my favorite girls Blankita. Blankita lived at the orphanage almost all of her life, and had left the last time I was down in Guatemala. This news of one of the girls leaving the home is always bittersweet. You want the best for them, but at the same time know that the chances of seeing them are very slim to none. Walking up the hill to the girl's home (many of you know the hill very well) and having Blankita run down to greet me, brought a feeling that I haven't felt in awhile. She remembered me, after not seeing me in years!..and of course asked about Chad, my brother as well.
..no really, can all my weekends be this good? :)

I do need to try this Korean Karaoke sometime! LOL, glad you found some happiness to keep you going!! You are doing amazing work, and I am proud that I get to know you!!
