I know I don't have any fun new pictures to put up right now (althought I have plenty of them on my camera that I have yet to upload onto the computer) so I'm trying to keep it a little bit interesting by writing in color. :) Anyways, I just wanted to add a little disclaimer note. All of these little books that I was reading in Mexico were indeed from the bookshelves of Andrew and Iris but they were not books that were purchased BY Andrew and Iris (except for the 2: "The Whitch of Blackbird Pond" and "Mrs. Mike"). You see, missionaries that are in other countries, tend to get lots and lots of "stuff" given to them. People just think that since they're in another country being missionaries that they need lots and lots of stuff that we don't need. Sometimes it can be a lot of "junk" or kinda useless to the family but anyways. I read 17 short books while I was there and all but those 2 (that I mentioned above) were given to them. Now, not to say that they were junk- because Karisa obviously enjoyed them- but just to say that Andrew and Iris don't go out and buy them. Andrew mentioned, the other day, that I made it sound like all of their "library" is full of these kind of books due to their choosing. So I just wanted to throw him a line and let you know the truth. :) Okay? And now, you know.

Good thing.....

I just wanted to let those of you, who sat around the campfire thinking of how you could put a fake mouse in my bed, know that you should be very very thankful that you did NOT do so!! You might have seen the wrath of Karisa then, instead of the funny little story tellin Karisa!! Okay, thanks! :)

Oh yeah, I made it home just great! A pretty un-eventful traveling day and I loved the end result!! My sister, mama and Jo Jo to pick me up at the airport!! Oh how I've missed home.....so much that I didn't even realize I was missing. Everything seems so new and different and strange to me now but it's all a GOOD strange and different! :) My bed is so comfortable that it took me awhile to go to sleep in it last night! Unreal, I know, but true, none the less! And everything is so BIG and BRIGHT and oh, how I love home! I think I'll be stayin put for quite some time now! But I am very thankful for the time in San Juanito and for all that God showed and started/continued teaching me while I was there. And of course for how awesome of a weight loss plan it was!!! LOVE IT! :) Anyways, I'm gonna try and keep this blog up, at least for a little bit, to kinda process the trip and show you some pics from here so stay tuned for more of the many adventures of Karisa Renee Oswald!! LOL! :) Okay, thanks to everyone who prayed for my time there and my travels home, it truly helped! God is good, all the time!! Thank you Jesus! Talk soon!
