[ what a life. ]

what a life. its unreal to think that just a few days ago i was on the other side of the world. and now, i am here. in AFRICA. its definitely a crazy, quick change. the transition has been good. besides a few mishaps, missing friends, and family ive been blessed with a transition with absolutely no jet lag. i slept 9 hours the first night and 12 hours the second night. many of the other missionary teachers coming still can not sleep the whole night. please be praying for all of us and a smooth transition and SLEEP!

the scenery here is just beautiful. even though its winter there are flowers everywhere. i am still trying to grasp how it can be WINTER and there can be flowers, green grass, and absolutely no frost or snow. its truly unreal. it really makes me think how it is to have summer at Christmas time! not to mention my door and window is opened!

nothing really happening at the school besides moving in, transitioning, getting use to everything, etc...many people coming back from furlough and unpacking! workers are cleaning out the school and preparing for school to start in a week and half!


i can already tell that i am in a whole different world here. life is much, much slower. there is not any pressure on hurrying up and rushing. its all about enjoying life and taking your time. which of course, has its disadvantages. but for now, its really nice for new people like me!


i just finished finally putting away and unpacking all my suitcases. it took for a few days, but my room feels more like a home now! i am about to go boil water to put into the filter. you can not drink the water from the tap. and when you buy any fruit, veggie or egg you have to let it set in bleach water for 20minutes. its no biggie though, its just life here!

later today ill finally be able to get into my classroom. i went a few days ago but i was asked to come back so they could clean my room again. i did not dispute especially since i saw at least 25 dead grasshoppers and insects everywhere. :) i guess its better than spiders!

well, i better get working! blessing to you all!
