I wouldn't say that I'm home sick, but I do miss my home a lot. I'm a bit tired of everything being new and different and... foreign. I'm ready for familiar faces and some regularity. I'm ready to shop at Fry's again (believe it or not). I'm ready for wide, level sidewalks. I'm ready to do my own laundry in my own washer and dryer. I'm ready to hug you.
There are two more days of class, in which we will mostly review. I hope to discipline myself enough to study on my own outside of class too. It's sooo hard, though. I can't believe I've gone through four years of college and still don't know how to study. I need to study pretty bad though. This course is pass/fail, so I'll either take 12 credits home with me or zero. And after all the work put in, I really want those credits more now than before. Anyway, I'd love your prayers this week. Prayers for perseverance and confidence and credit would be nice, I think. Also, ask Jesus to give us the language in some miraculous way. Because we're so ready for him to do that.
I like the people here a lot. I wonder what saying goodbye to them will be like. I don't really want to say goodbye to some of them.
Love you.
You are painfully true.

praying for each of you.
Dear Jessica,
I will be praying for you regarding the studying and credits, and that that Jesus would reveal the language to you in a miraculous way! Will also pray for beautiful closure with your new-found friends as you say your goodbyes to them--at least for now, and also for travel mercies on all of you as you begin your travels back home.
We axiously await your arrival here and as you know, your Dad has a countdown on his phone to the minute of your arrival. It's been a long summer for us having you so far away, but we're thrilled that you were blessed to have this experience.
We love and miss you so much!
Momma
