The day Jokkmokk stood empty

Well im back from easter break and i never thought id say this about school in general but it missed school. I found out something very interesting about this town last week. The good people of Jokkmokk go to there cabins during easter break and the town empties. On friday the only thing open was the gas station. So now i ve seen Jokkmokk in two very different ways from when market was here and we went from 2000 people to 50000 people and then last week from 2000 people to about 20 people. But i have to admit it was kinda cool, gives time to just wander by yourself. Well we are now down to the final stretch in our stay here, the 16th marked 100 days till we fly into chicago. Im alittle torn because im so use to living here and ive made alot of good friends here. It will certianly be a new emtion when the day comes when we leave. The other day i called alyssa keturah (my little sister) so i can feel my homesickness grow. I m going to ask for prayer for patience with myself cause i dont like being homesick alot it takes away from my experiances here. Hope where ever you are that your all doing well and that god is blessing you in some way,

It is kinda exciting knowing how close we are to coming home, but I´m with you, I´m definitly going to miss Paraguay when I´m home. (I may not miss the heat, but I´ll definitly miss it)
