A Full Meal of Thankfulness

As Thanksgiving passed, I realized one thing I was really thankful for....our cook! Suse is such a wonderful lady who cleans and cooks for us; it really is a blessing for my mom who has been awfully busy. One thing that led me to see this was from reading "Unbroken" as a family. Louie endured so much in his time during WWII, more than I ever could. Now I am especially thankful for our bountiful and yummy meals.

I am also thankful for my growing friendship with Sophia, one of the Peters children. She is such a riot! Sophia, tu me fais rouler par terre! :)




Jackie Chen (that's what I call her), "our dog" from our house area, sure is happy for that extra oatmeal.

Just realized (22-Mar-16) this was posted on my friends birthday!

To My Prayer Group!

This is a thanks to my prayer group for being such good friends. It is very encouraging to have so many people praying for me and supporting me. This week I would be grateful if you could prayer for safe flights, peace about unfinished plans, but also please thank the Lord for all he has done for my family. We have officially sold and moved out of our house, bought our plane tickets, and almost finished packing our bags. Its official, we are going!!!!!! Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up. Proverbs 12:25

It only included grades 5-7 so I missed one of the village kids in 4 th grade do the high jump. L Since then I have gone two full days (leave at 6am, home at 5pm) and two half days (Fridays go 6-2ish) I have enjoyed my classmates, but sometimes the day seems to run on since English is their second language and my second nature so… The first term (from January to end of March) ends on the last day of March. In my class there are 45 students (including me) and one teacher! Every morning we pull out our morning work notebooks and do our morning work out of the English book. Normally after I’m long done, the teacher will finally come in to class. The subjects change depending on the day except for English which is every day and used in ev...
