Preparing to Return

I will return to the U.S. on April 10th. Thus, I have been VERY busy preparing for that return. Life has been hectic but enjoyable. My mother came to visit from February 31st to March 6th and we did all sorts of great, fun things. I've been busy trying to wrap things up at my schools, and I've already said goodbye to one of them. It was a sad, present-filled goodbye as every grade gave me presents of pictures and goodbye cards. I've already said goodbye to the small church in Shiro-satou that I've been attending for a year. More goodbyes are yet to come, and I will miss everybody terribly.
Please pray for me in this transition.
If your interested, I've posted over 100 pictures on my picture page (jrgbubbles.smugmug.com) for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy them and sit tight. I'm not sure when I'll be able to post again.
Later alligator!
