Lonesome blues'

I am in a whirlwind, time is leaving me twisted once again with confusion as it's running past me so fast. It has been a long while since I have updated, however so much has happened. I left you off when Marina D and I were house managers. It was a short week as we started our 48 hours that Friday. All the meals turned out wonderfully, and we had a peaceful week as I wished it to be. Katimavik decided to let our PL go, and that was a relief for everyone in our group. We were having problems, that were to big for us to handle, and we dealt with it in a respectful manner. It wasn't only our concerns which costed him his job. Anyway, as a group we can find more peace with a new project leader coming in only a week. I know this might have put a damper on a month or so of the rotation, however I see it in a positive light instead of believing it has affected this rotation in a negative way. We are learned a good lesson, on how to deal with those kinds of things.

For my 48 hours off my Mosha, and sisters came to visit. It was nice to get out of the Katima House and see family, it had been almost 5 months since I had seen them last. We spent the weekend shopping and catching up. I was reminded of how much my family means to me as well as how much I will miss my katima family- It is weird to be away from them especially since we see each other everyday. I know I will be welcomed home to Brandon with open arms, and that makes me happy. However, I am where I need to be, and it is scaring me to go home and not know for sure what my next step is.

This past week it was interesting. Sam came to visit me and that took up most of my thoughts and time. Before he came on Tuesday, my family was still here on Monday. They came for supper, and they got to meet everyone. That meant a lot to me, everyone liked them even more because they brought cake, ice cream and hot chocolate the things everyone loves the most. It was weird seeing them in my Katimavik house so far from home, and with the people I have spent so much time with the past few months.

As I mentioned, Sam came Tuesday night. That was really exciting to see him again!! He did swiss fondue for supper, and everyone loved it. I was so appreciative that he could bring his culture in to our home. We all had a lot of fun, and it will be a good couple days remembered by all. Thursday night I had to say goodbye to Sam, and it was extremely difficult, thats all I have to say- especially since I am not letting this blog be too personal. That whole situation is a reason why I am not so motivated to be updating all the time on here, however I can't let it drag me down.

Friday billeting began! And that is where I am now. I am with a very family orientated family, so it's nice and it feels homey! I am very lonely, I must be honest however it will be back to the busy katimavik life style soon enough. The mom in the family works at the YMCA as well, so I can just catch a ride with her, and it is handy! I am in river view which is a different section of Moncton; a fair difference from our Katima house.

I apologize for my lack of posting, I will get back to normal soon enough, for my last month in Katimavik!! I can't believe it is only a month away before I return to sweet home. As for now, I am a scattered one, and I am not doing the greatest.

All my love,
Amy (:
