Last Day at Work! / Ultimo Dia de Trabajo!

Today is the last working day (if you do not count worship on Sunday) of my internship here at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Ft. Myers, FL. I have been enjoying my time here so much. The place, the people, the relationships have all been above and beyond anything I expected. I was invited to go to lunch yesterday with the rest of the chruch staff to a local restaurant called "The Farmers Market." You can guess the location of the place by the title. Real down home cookin' for me and the staff. Phil, the music director, sat next to me and ordered hamhock. I still do not know what it was he ate, but it is some part of the pig towards the backside and it came cooked with skin and all. Phil swears by it, but I will not try it and just take his word for it. Today is like any other day except that it is my last and with it comes these strange feelings of joy and sadness at the same time. I feel I have all these things to do before I go. I guess you always feel that way when you come to the end of something. It's kinda like when you leave the house on a long trip and you have that feeling you left something you might need. Anyway...all I can say is a big THANK YOU to all who shared their life and heart with me during this time. I hope this will only be the beginning of a long standing relationship.

Hoy es mi ultimo dia the trabajo como internado en la iglesia Covenant Presbyterian en la ciudad de Ft. Myers en Florida. Solo quiero mencionar cuanto he apreciado los momentos y las amistades que he tenido y encontrado aqui. Ayer me llevaron a almorzar para celebrar mi despedida y me llevaron a un lugar local donde sirven comida tipica del sur de los Estados Unidos. Un amigo y colega llamado Phil se comio un plato de algo que viene del cerdo pero no se que y no se veia muy apetitivo aunque el me juraba que si lo era. Hoy ha sido un dia normal aunque la verdad es una mezcla de tristeza y alegria. Siento que hay cosas por hacer, como cuando uno se va de la casa de viajes y siente que dejo algo en la casa que iba a necesitar. De todas maneras queria dar las gracias a todos que compartieron su corazon y sus vidas conmigo durante las utlimas ocho semanas. Espero que este sea el comienzo de una muy buena relacion.
