kansas city.ks/mo

the 5 hour bus ride from north platte to kansas city seemed to go by really fast. amazing when you are with 80 people how time flies.

it was great to see beata again once we arrived to kansas city.i hadn't seen her for a month. we gave each other a hug and smiled at each other and we both knew it was going to be a fun week. beata assigned me to stay with dale and elaine gustafson. dale is actually an uwp people alumni. the gustafson were awesome. they have three kids...grant, greta and grey. i loved having host brother and sisters....my roommate for this week was emilie from beligium. we hadn't really had time to catch up in north platte so it was so nice to share a room with her.

the week was full of memories .....
