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

Revisiting secret places in the heart.

Emily is in Tchad and she finally posted something . I'll be honest when I was reading it my heart started racing and I was instantly transported there. I know what it's like to return to a place like that. Six months after I left the Hogar de Ninos in Honduras I found myself on a plane going back to visit for three weeks. There really is nothing better than going 'home' to a place you had thought you would never see again. I remember the feelings of wanting to jump off of the plane and run through the airport to find my friends. Then once I was on the REACH bus headed to el Hogar, I remember talking the WHOLE 2 hours with one of the girls from the home, the excitement was oozing out of me, and once the bus pulled into the gate of the hogar I ran out and up the hill into the arms of all the beautiful children. The feeling was amazing. Something akin to what I think heaven will be like. It was magnificent to touch and talk to all the kids again, to see their faces, when ...

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away. . .

When I got to the hospital for worship at 7am, little Ramadan, one of my little TB guys sat with me for worship, and he and I had a lot of fun I received the full amount of personal contact for the day. We looked at our hands, veins in our hands and tried not to giggle to loudly when we tickled each other. In the afternoon I didn’t worry about working on our math skills like I normally do. Normally I sit with my peds boys and we go over math stuff. We play a round of Uno and then work on numbers. With Climont, I work on going over basic numbers and recognizing them and then with Kumabus, I help him with multiplying and simple addition, which he is good at. With Ramada I go over addition. But yesterday I gave it all a break and we colored pictures. We just sat there and I sang and let them color whatever they wanted to. There was a nice breeze and a bag fluttered over to me so I took it and made it into a kite. I just sat there with the kids and tried to fly my kite. Soon it was time fo...

Shabbat Shalom

On Friday night last I went to the local Jewish community center (yes there is one here in Phnom Penh) and celebrated the opening of the Sabbath. I have a few things in common with the Jewish faith, as a Christian I also believe that Saturday is day that God set aside for worship. It's the day that we spend with God and family as a reminder that He is God and to slow down and be present. It starts Friday night at sundown and goes until sundown on Saturday. With the big difference in our beliefs being Jesus. Even with that difference I appreciated the connection that I was able to make with the way that Jesus brought in His Sabbath all those years ago. I went with Louise, the newest RAW Edu staff member and Olivia, the volunteer here for two weeks with an Eng literacy training team and who is actually Jewish. She was the main motivation for going, I wanted to help her find a bit of home in Phnom Penh. We arrived a bit late due to confusion of where it was. The room had a small d...
