Tomorrow I'm heading back to Shenzhen to get a few last-minute Christmas gifts (I say last-minute because I'm leaving in 7 days!!) and to pick up the clothes I had made at the tailor's shop. I am really excited to see how my stuff turned out. Hopefully there aren't any major problems, because I won't be able to go back again.
With only a week left, I realize how lucky I am to have been here. I've seen and done (and eaten >_<) things I'd never even dreamed of before. It has been one of the most interesting, challenging, and exciting experiences of my life. If I could turn back time, I certainly wouldn't trade it for the world. I might not have come with the same volunteer program, but I'd definitely have chosen to come to China. I love this country. The people here are so friendly and willing to help.
Well, enough of that sappy stuff. I have to go, as it is getting really late and Bre wants to go to sleep (I'm on her lappy). I'll see you all very soon!

Can't wait to see you in "7 days"! (And we REALLY need you back in Primary! *tee hee*) Seems like you've been gone for 7 years!!
It's been an exciting time for you, Madison. Now maybe you'll be brave enough to come visit us in Austin--that'll be nothing compared to China! Travel home safely. Ik hou van jou.
Madison!
Dearest cousin of mine! You are going to be home SO SOON!!!! I'm very excited! :) Best wishes as you finish up and travel home.
Loves!
