The Weather Outside is Frightful!!

It's been a while since my last post on here and I apologize for that. Not a whole lot has been going on here. This past week I started a new language curriculum with a  new tutor which I like very much. She is a sister and is so encouraging. The first 100 hrs of my training I am not allowed to speak, just listen. We go through about 25 to 30 vocabulary words a day using tangible objects like toys or drawing pictures. This is right up my alley of learning. She never tells me the answer and no english is spoken which is good for me because it forces me not to speak english. I think this is going to go very well and she will be able to work with me for the 2 years I'm hear. Father definitely answered that Pr-yer. Yesterday was Thanksgiving and I had a small dinner with some friends from my team and my tutor. We had chicken, sweet potato casserole, home made crescent roles and some mixed vegetables. It was very good and on Saturday we will have a big get together with all the foreigners in our city and have a big meal which, I'm pumped about. I've been doing a lot of painting and decorating my apartment. A few weekends ago I had about 6 friends over at my apartment and we watched the movie Soul Surfer. After I was able to share about Father's strength and how we can do anything through Him. They seemed to really understand and it was going through their mind. I am really excited about these new friends and it's been good getting to know them. I will start studying with my tutor soon from the book so she can grow more. She is like minded but wants to study deeper in His word which I am very excited about. The temperature is dropping fast here. The high has been about 28 degrees and will be getting lower soon. In December we will hit the negatives which usually hits -20, uhhhhm cold much?  N-e-who well I gotta get going now. I'll try and post again soon, I am thankful for all the pr-yers being lifted up.

Blessings and Hope you all had a  happy Thanksgiving!!!
