Been A While: Random Happenings

I have been really horrible at keeping up to date with how life is going here. Lots of things have been going on the last few months. I started school and it has been going pretty good. Most days I'm completely lost and confused but I'm getting through it. At first it was real embarrassing when I would get called on and have no clue how to answer but that feeling has faded and I press on through those moments. Today in class we finished one of our books and I had a test where I had to meet my teacher 1-on-1 and she asked questions and I had to answer. I did fairly well only missing 3 questions. Getting around town has definitely been really easy and I can do just about anything by myself now without the help of others. Recently I got a bike from a friend here who just had a baby and can't ride for now. Riding it for the first time along the river was so freeing. I can't tell you how much I miss driving and this is the closest I have come to it and it was the greatest feeling ever and surviving the roads was a big accomplishment 8^). A  little over a month I had to take a 3 hour trip to see a dentist for a tooth ache and wound up having to get 2 teeth pulled which were baby teeth and under one had an infection which was causing my pain. It took me about a week to fully recover because the infection got pretty bad. I recently went back and had to have braces put on my teeth which I'll have to wear for a year. It's almost been a week and I'm still getting used to them. Trying to eat has been a task. Well that is about all the new things going on. My life for the time being is wrapped around language study and will be the case for a while. The weather is getting so much warmer and everything is starting to blossom which I'm loving.

I am about to hit the 7 month mark. I can't believe it has already been half a year since I arrived. Time is flying by fast. I have had my ups and downs and it has been incredible seeing how Father has pulled me through and revived my spirit. I am excited to see what Father is going to do through this next month and the many more that are to come. I have 2 friends I've been meeting with, I'll call them J&J, and we've been going through T4T which is teaching them about how to walk with Father. We just went through pr@yer and they learned what it looks like and what the Book says about it. They have prepared a topic that they want to talk to me about so keep this in your thoughts as I meet with them sometime next week. It is amazing seeing how they are growing and reading the Book. Well that is about it for now, I am going to try and do better at posting more, I know I know, I say this all the time.

Blessing to y'all
