When I realized that I only have 24 days left in Peru, a couple different emotions hit me. It really was a bitter sweet feeling. Im really looking forward to seeing my family and friends, but the thought of leaving the family and friends that I have made here, knowing that I may never see them again, is a sad feeling. I will never forget some of the people I've met. Sometimes I feel like I have taken living in a Spanish speaking country for granted because Im not trying hard enough to communicate. It's easy to get by because I can rely on others that are more fluent to get my point across. Regardless, being able to communicate in a different language is an awesome feeling and I think that my Spanish has improved a lot since I came. It makes me want to learn more languages and travel everywhere! With only 24 days left it's easy to think about all the things that I am excited to have when I get home (hot showers, my car, a washing machine, and all those other things we don't need) but I've been trying to not live so much in the future, but focus on what I am doing now. There are still so many things that I have to accomplish in these last couple weeks. We have a solid team and have done a lot this summer. Lucky for me, most of them live in Utah, so they cant peace out of my life that fast!
