GRADUATION!

OH MY GOODNESS THE DAY HAS COME! I'M GRADUATING TODAY!!!!!
Some days during DTS, I felt like it was going to go on forever, and that we would never graduate, now I'm wondering where those days have gone. All of the sudden it is all over! It's definitely starting to hit me that i have to say goodbye to most of these people forever, and its getting to be a little bit sad.
So over the last five months, there has definitely been some serious highs and some serious lows.
I've definitely learned alot, I've learned about patience, humility, what it looks like to be a good leader as well as what it looks like to be a leader who has to change a few things. I've fasted and prayed, I read my Bible more and I got over my fear of singing in front of people (not saying I'm good, I just don't care as much if people can hear me anymore)
DTS was definitely a good experience and I would recommend a DTS to just about anyone.
So this coming week is going to be a nice gradual way of saying goodbye to people. Some people will be leaving today, some people will be leaving tomorrow, and I will be going on a "camping trip" with some of the people I am closest with until Monday. Then Sarah, Melissa and I will go on our trip for the rest of the time that we are here. So at least I don't have to say good-bye to everyone all at once.

Anyways, that is about it for this blog, this is going to be my last post. Thank you guys all so much for reading it and for your prayers. I hope you stayed somewhat entertained, and I hope that it all made sense.
I will be home in A WEEK! (and a couple days) So if you guys have any questions or confusions... just talk to me in person.. YAY.

Today's Fun Fact:
Today, on the last day of DTS, on the last day that I will probably ever be in this cafe, we discovered that they have the most amazing banana smoothies. Tell me why we couldn't have discovered this 5 months ago.
(I'm sorry that fun fact was kind of sub-par, especially because this will be the last fun fact. buuut, It's the best i could do for this week  so you're just going to have to deal with it. :) )
