BAAAACCCKKK!!!

Hey you guys, I'm back to Tbilisi and to my lovely Macbook!! I can say for the first like 20 minutes of use, I felt so strange and my Macbook felt so foreign to me! I was amazed at the bright light and the way that the cursor would move when I touches the mouse pad. Seriously. It's been 9 weeks, a little more than 2 months.

This time has been crazy and incredibly good. We spent the first 6 weeks in a small Muslim village in Georgia. The next 2 weeks in an incredibly Protestantized village in Georgia, and then the last week in Gori working with a kids camp (I even led a group of girls completely in Georgian-- it was a pretty big miracle for me!).

Now I'm in Tbilisi, we will start our last week of DTS on Monday and then it's all over. Seriously. 6 months of my life finished in the wink of an eye. It's what it feels like now at least.

Right now I'm seriously exhausted. We came into town, got Vazi sort of set up for us again, then it was off to conflict resolution and heart-sharing for most of the night (so it is with most DTS's and specifically during debrief time)... and now I'm at home and really tired but trying to get caught up on things.

Some things I love about coming home: everything seems 864 times more beautiful, I feel like I have enough clothes and that they are cool, my toliet flushes and my shower operates without a bucket, relationships seem sweeter and it's exciting to function in a new level of Jenni (meaning, some things really changed in me).

Until next time.... I've got a lot of pictures but not a lot of time to go through them and sort them out... but I'll see what I can do.

Sending my love! It's good to be back.
