They said YES!!

-
Everyone in my life has said yes, Ashley, Kim and the NAD.

I just talked to someone at the NAD and they have told me that I am going to be able to go to TCHAD!!!!!!! I can hardly believe it myself. They said I just need to wait for the official letter from the people who okay me with my destination. ANd since James and Sarah want me down in Tchad it should be eaiser!!!!! I can't believe it, I hate to get to excited because there is a part of me that says it might not still work out. But I am going to trust God on this one, I am going to get my shots, my visa and start working on my French again.
I can't wait to start working. For so long there I was floating in limbo land unsure of what was going to happen to me next year. It's nice to have a goal for next year again. I can start mentally preparing myself for French, heat, hard work and lots of challanges.
Meanwhile last week I went to my bestfriend, Ashely Guinn Pena's, wedding in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico :0)
It was a beautiful wedding. I am so happy for her. Since we've been back my other best friend Kimberly has also gotten engaged! So lots of happy love in Texas.

Well I must go for now, I need to start the Rosetta stone so I can work on my French!

Te amo.

Hate to be the editor, but...you might want to change that to "elegantly written" rather then elegently--like a gentle elephant. :) And I bet you didn't know I was engaged. (since everyone else is). I bet I didn't know either. But yea for the NAD! And bon chance! :)

Can't say that I'm overly excited, I will worry about you as I have done for the past 20+ years. I also know you must do what you feel is right and importnat. May God bless and protect you as you venture forward.
Love
Dad

Tales from an exile

Well today the majority of the students have been gone from the school leaving me and just a very tiny group of working students and green house workers to run the place. I must be honest I wasn't very excited about being left behind while everyone else went to an faraway land to do mission work. Especially because one group was going to Honduras, the very first place I lived outside of America. I would have LOVED to visit my old home at El Hogar de Ninos. But alas I was left here to 'run' things. After I saw the light of all the fun, Kaisa, Tiina and I could have I began to get excited. So now after a week I would love to tell you about our tales. All week I worked doing things from cataloging library books, covering new books, planning my recruiting trip through Scandinavia, cooking in the kitchen, taking the trash out and cleaning Solhoug down the hill. The days have been diverse enough and I have been able to listen to great music and books on tape. (a side note about t

Phase 2

I am on the move again. I know that I'm hard to get ahold of or that I'm always going somewhere new but this time I'm not. I'm going back to a place I've been before, a place that I have called home. I'm moving to Oakhurst, California. The town right outside the Southern entrance to Yosemite National Park. I am their new Kindergarden teacher. That's right, a bunch of little kids and I are going to learn together We are going to conquer the world of colors, numbers and letters. We will go where no other 5 and 6 year old have gone before! We will explore the outdoors, our imaginations and the world of knowledge. It is going to be grand. After I finish up here in Arizona I'm heading up and over, school starts in a little bit and I've got a classroom to prepare. God is good. "For I know the plans I have for you, "says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you hope and a future ." Jeremiah 29:1

Almost nearly perfectly content.

Tonight was great. I finally have my own kitchen and now I finally have my own food to cook. I went shopping yesterday (which will have to wait till the next story to tell about those adventures) and bought a few staple items. Included in those things was an avocado which I was given. I decided tonight to check that avocado for ripeness and found it to be the perfect time for it to be devoured. Then that's what I decided to do, I cut it up and put it on a plate. Then I realized I had nothing else to put on it. . . until it hit me like a speeding train, "I have onions I can put with it." Then I realized I can also put some of my diced tomatoes with it to to make a salsa. After mixing it all up and being ready to eat I realized something else. . . who would want to eat it just like this by itself. Here's where it gets really exciting. I got out my flour and salt and baking powder, mixed it in a bowl and made tortillas. It was fantastic. I haven't felt this self rel
