Life Update

I just realized I haven't updated you guys lately.  Sorry about that.  Let's see, what's been happening?

It's finally raining!!  I know Oklahoma is hurting something bad too, so I'm not going to say much about our rain problem down here.  Honestly, if I could bucket up some rain and send it your way I would gladly do so.

I have a Sunday school class again!  I miss the boys back home, but they now belong to another non-mother who loves them as her own.  It's a bitter sweet moment to be moving forward.  It's hard for me to communicate let alone relate to my kids here, but I'm enjoying it none the less.

A sense of being welcome and at home  has begun to take over.  I've started to go to two house churches regularly and I've visited another church several times.  It's nice going to a place and knowing the smiling faces that greet me.  The faces of the grocer, land lord, and restaurant owners are becoming ones I look forward to seeing as well.

My friend moved into my apartment compound.  We're pretty much as roommates as roommates can be without actually being roommates.  A little redundancy never hurt anyone, right?  Anyway, I love having a friend a hop, skip and jump away.  Literally, a hop, skip, and jump.  She's that close.

The North American teachers are here!  Two of them also live in my apartment compound.  Their school starts on Monday.  I'm hoping to get the chance to set in and observe some classes once they get settled in.  One thing I'm thinking about doing once I graduate and get a real job is teaching middle school science.  Observing their classrooms will be nice since I am not an education major...actually I don't think many of them are either.  Even better.

My stupid wisdom teeth are coming in.  Well, at least one of them.  Yeah, I hate it already.

I come home for vacation a month from today.  It doesn't seem possible.  Time has already flown by way too quickly.  It seems like I've only been here a few weeks...but on the other hand it seems like I've lived here forever.  Weird.  I don't know how to explain that one.

If you haven't done so already, check out my tortilla making video on facebook.  It's worth taking a look at.
