House Swap

Well last night I moved houses. My old family actually threw a little surprise party for me which was really sweet. And when I left Iza started crying when I hugged her. I'm going to miss her. Well I'm at my new house now, and I don't know what to think yet. I am filled with a mixture of emotions. Excitement, nervousness, sadness, missing my old house and family (and my bed, this one is kinda hard and my back is hurting because of it...but my host parents are going to switch it, so its ok).

Well I've been learning that I am a person that needs change in life. Its hard for me to stay in one place for a long time. But at the same time, I was just getting used to everything back in my old house. And now I'm starting new again. I think it will be easier here, in a way, because I can communicate through Portuguese now. But its still hard. I especially miss Iza and my "Brother" Lorran (one of my best friends from school that lives two blocks from my old house). I am going to miss being able to just walk over to his house and watch a movie with a group of people from school. Well, I would appreciate prayer as I enter this new family, and this new side of the city.

I will write a little more later, but for now, this is all I have time for. Thank you all for your prayers it means so much to me.

aww Hopey. I didn't know you were supposed to switch houses. That's actually a really good idea, even though I can see how it could be difficult. I hope you enjoy your time in your new location! I'm praying for you! Love & hugs!
