Leischen did not have to wake up at 6:00 this morning, but she did have a breakfast date with her Danish friends. She toured around the city and took a ton of pictures ( all with the "other" camera)
I feel so incredibly blessed. This has been such a trip full of "hard things to do", but also so many new experiences, sights and new friends to share it with. I came by myself, but the Lord provided all the friends I needed to share it with.
It has also been a lesson on "when there is no stuff" what is it that really matters to you?
I have learned how much I love people, and how well God really does provide. I feel so full.
I am having dinner with friends for the last time tonight and then I am taking the night train to Madrid. I have a bunk so I can at least sleep on the way. I don't have to pay for a hotel room, but at least I can lay down between the two cities. (the internet says it is about 5.5 hours by train)
I think Leischen will forever be a pilgrim. It is an experience that she will never forget, but will always carry in her heart. As she leaves Santiago and finds her way to the city where she will fly home, the reality of her "other" life will start calling. It is always fun to see your children so happy. She says she feels full. I am full because she is so happy.
