It doesn't seem like it has been almost three months since I arrived. A lot has happened and I have learned many things. It has been a great honor to attend this school and to have been given the opportunity to meet the many people that I now call my family of friends. The days have been long and the burdens have been heavy at times. It rains almost every day and lately it has been very cold and windy. Some of the students only have a short walk to school. Others have to walk at least 30 minutes to get there. Most of them have small children and many days they are sick. We don't have the luxuary of being able to walk into a nice warm class room or home as they are not equiped with heating systems. Many of the homes have mold. The sidewalks are covered with green slimy mold that makes it very slippery. I have fallen several times because of it. Life here is very different and comes with many sacrifices but to me it has been worth it all.Thanks to all of your prayers God gave to me a wonderful home. School will be letting out for Christmas December 13th. It will be graduation day and many of the students will be leaving. They will carry that which they have learnd into many different countries. This will be a sad time and it will be hard to see them go but we all know that one day we shall meet again. We are all greatful that God has given us this great opportunity.I will be flying home December 10th and I can hardly wait to be there
