N'Djamina

-
I am going to the capital again! A nice place but a rotten way to travel all
squished in a van. But by going I am going to be meeting with the Dir and
former Dir of ADRA Tchad. I am going to be proposing some projects with a
fellow SM, Hans and we will be meeting with them to find out what their
plans are for Tchad and what they can do for us.

I am really excited because this is what I have come here for. But please
pray for me, I am really afraid, this is something I want so bad to work out
that I am afraid if it doesn't I will be crushed/ back at the beginning. I
pray that this opportunity is very successful and that we take complete
advantage of the opportunities God has given us to network and plan for the
development of His children here in Tchad!

I won't be able to blog or write any of you for a week. I am leaving
tomorrow and won't be back until next Friday night at the earliest, so that
would make it Sat when I would write you again. That is if the roads are
clear and the new SMs we are picking up don't have any trouble either! I am
really excited because this is what I wanted to do, pick up SMs/volunteers
and work on programming. How is it that God is giving me the opportunity to
do exactly as I wanted to? It must be because He has given me the passion
and if He gives us the passion He will give us the outlet! Praise be to God!

Once of the new people is an SM from PUC and her name is Sarah, the other is
a Danish med school student. I hope she brings us a danish pastry! Yum!

Don't worry about not getting a blog for a while, you will get boucoup of
them when I get back, I'll just keep them written on paper till I get back.
Those amazing few of you who leave comments and write me please don't stop
just because I can't reply, keep them coming so I'll have something to look
at when I get back home to my hut. Oh yeah, while I'm in N'Djamina I get to
use a real shower and toilet!!!! Just another plus to following God, He
supplies all our shower and toilet needs :o)

Remember to pray for the meetings and for Liz and I as well as all the other
new SMs!

Amen.

Thanks LaSonya for sharing your current plans to meet Sarah in N'Djamina. She is my daughter and I just saw her off on a plane yesterday and we were worried about her arrival in Tchad in a few hours. It is great to know that a "professional" SM chauffeur, like yourself, will be there to get her safely to Bere. I pray that all is going well with your project with ADRA. Thanks from Oregon.

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
