Support Me!!!!

I am not coming home until I feel that there’s a real reason to leave El Sal (i.e. natural disaster, sick family member). I know that I scare some people when I update my status on Facebook, but I assure you guys that I am fine. Instead of telling me to come home, SUPPORT ME!!Yes, I have very bad days, but I also have really good days. I’ve been tested both physically and mentally and there were PLENTY of times when I wanted to throw in the towel, but then I have to remember that I prayed for this. I asked to be tested. I asked to be here (well maybe not in this particular country, but you get the point). It would be easy to say, “I can’t live like this. I miss my family. I’m going home”, but I know that there’s a reason that I am here. I’m not a quitter and I won’t give up without a fight. But if I see another rat anywhere near my suitcase…I’ll be on the first flight home! Hahaha…just kidding…I think.

Love you all,
Salu (this is the Salvo way of saying goodbye)

p.s. My Daddy is the best man in this world! I'll be asking him to run a background check on my future boyfriend ;-)

The Truth

I'd rather be hurt by the truth than protected by a lie.


Now that I got that off my chest I guess I'll let you guys know what's been going on in my life. I recently had my heart broken by someone that I thought was incapable of hurting me. I wanted to hate him but I prayed that God would take away those negative feelings and today...I'm learning to work through the pain.

Love you all,
Salu
