Three weeks in!

Hello everyone! Sorry it's taken me awhile to post; I've been pretty busy these past few weeks. Since I've been here I've gotten back into the swing of things. I'm settled in my apartment, working with sak Saum, doing the preschool, and teaching English. My flight over was good and easy. Leaving my family right before the holidays was difficult, but they got me well equipped to have a Christmas alone.

The preschool plans have been confirmed, and are already starting to take effect. It has been so good seeing all of my preschool students! I missed their little faces so much. I thank God everyday that I have been given the opportunity to come here and do what I'm doing. I'm so blessed by such an experience.

My diet has returned to rice and pork everyday. Now that I'm cooking for myself, it's fun to experiment with different ingredients. The other day I was offered some black beetles...I turned them down. I've already had my fill of bugs, and wasn't to keen on the smell. For the most part, I'll stick with what I know. Last week I made a kale salad with peanut sauce. It was so good!

We have had the past few days off due to a holiday here. It has been very relaxing. Last night I had a game night in my apartment. Fathers house came over and we played games, ate apples And listened to music. It was a lot of fun.

Thank you all for your continuing support and encouragement. My prayer for the next year is to plundge headfirst into what God has planned out for me. My prayer is that I can do it with the fruits of the spirit. God only knows I need them everyday.
