Halfway there

 It's hard to believe I have only been here six months and I only have five more months to go. There is something that comes with living in a different country for a year that is very hard to explain unless you do it yourself. Today was the first day in about two weeks where it was sunny and warm and not rainy and cold. Let me tell you, it felt so incredibly good to feel the sun. My friend Shelby and I decided to go on a spontaneous hike/walk around the town and we eventually made it up to the La Union tower, where I took this picture. Nothing beats it. Just look at that view. The fact I only have about five months of this is crazy. Up here-looking out over La Union-I can do nothing else but thank God He as brought me here for my first year after graduating college. He knew how this experience would change me--and I will be forever grateful.
