Sitting with my second cup of tea in a beautiful house up in the mountains of Newara Eliya. It's freezing here, which is kind of crazy considering the weather we've had for the last five and a half weeks. This is the best tea I've had the whole trip I think. The lady hosting us at this house has been cooking for us and I have a sneaking suspicion that she is making something American for breakfast. This is a wonderful and much needed break to end our trip with. We've done so much traveling in the past few weeks, it's ridiculous... The pink bus has become our home, and we laugh about how we feel like a traveling performing group in some ways. Everywhere we go we are asked to sing, dance, and share testimonies. It has been awesome. I am so glad I came on this trip, and I'm so glad I am one of the leaders, even though it's been hard. I just hope I'll be able to process all of this well so that it doesn't become just a passing experience or distant memory.
I could easily stay here longer, if that was an option. Normally at this point on a trip like this, we'd be eager to go home, but this time I don't mind. Content is a good word to describe how I feel right now.
