-At the beginning of October, I visited friends (that I went to Ecuador with through BCA) at Messiah College. I took the Greyhound Bus to Harrisburg, PA and then I got picked up at the bus station. I visited Nicole Steiner and also Christa Marshall. I forgot to get a picture of Christa and I. I wasn't able to see my friend Claire because she had other plans that weekend. While I was at Messiah College, I went to a soccer game (Saturday night) and Messiah won!! The weather was cold, but the soccer game was exciting. At the soccer game, I also saw Brittany King, who I went to Hesston College with in Hesston, KS.
-During the weekend of October 16-19, my sister visited me. Ingrid got here Thursday night and left Sunday morning. We went to the Lincoln Memorial, The Capitol, walked on the Mall, went to the U.S. Botanic Garden and took pictures of The White House. It was really good to see her and have her here that weekend.
-On October 20, a new volunteer named Hattie Lehman arrived. She is from PA.
-On October 31, the next host couple, Clayton and Ruth Steiner, arrived. They have been the host couple before at the International Guest House.
-At the end of October/beginning of November, both Phyllis Hostetler and Wilbur and Helen Yoder left. Wilbur and Helen Yoder finished their 14 months as being host couple and returned to Iowa. Phyllis finished her year of volunt
eer work and now is living and working part-time in the District (for those who don't know that is Washington, D.C.).
-Most recently (November 7-8), I met up with my aunt in Alexandria, VA and spent the night with her in her hotel room. Then, on Saturday, Nov. 8, I walked around Alexandria, VA and took the Metro back to D.C.
I am going to post other pictures of random things after this post. I hope everyone is glad that I updated my blog. Also, I hope everyone enjoys looking at the pictures that I have uploaded. I hope everyone has a good week in whatever they are doing. :)
