Beautiful Letdown

So, it's humid here. 

But it's also really cool to be surrounded by palm trees and beaches in February!

I guess that's a complaint: I'm literally sweating the humidity and it's making my video camera become full of  perspiration as well. My camera really doesn't do that well in a humid climate. Oh well.

School is also becoming more demanding. Intensive school assignments were expected but I neglected to be ready for a good dose of humidity. 

blah.

I've also kind of noticed that my vision might have gotten a bit worse. Seems like it got worse in the last few days. Unfortunate time to need an eye doctor appointment, if you ask me. I'm just wondering how I think my vision should be totally focused on God: that I should do pretty much everything to the best of my ability. Ha, I guess to bring cameras into this, my vision is out of focus (just as a lens is out of focus sometimes) I don't know. 

The real thing that is actually disappointing to me is that I don't think I'll be going back to the Dominican Republic after this semester. I really wanted to go. Not to go just to visit my missionary friends or hang out on the beach or go as my vacation but I honestly wanted to serve.

I think it may just be, as simple and juvenile as it is, God saying 'you're focused on the wrong thing! You can serve your neighbors right around you!' Maybe not the students here, but other Uruguayans who live here. I'm not opposed to that plan, I'm only a tiny bit disappointed at that change. It's really no big deal, I just know that I was hoping, praying and planning to do a bit of mission work over the summer and I still will. Only in a different place.
