Back Again.

-

I've moved into a dorm room again. I  have a roommate again. I met her Sunday night when she moved in. 

I'll be here for six weeks, that is the same amount of time most staff spend at camp. I figure I must be at teacher camp. Only I'm making my food in a tiny ill equipped kitchenette and there is no line call. But I still have classes. I make my own camp counsel and rec time, I realized Dare Base is hard to play with just one person and I couldn't find enough players this week, there is always next week. So I've decided to just stick with running and cross training. 

I'm making new friends, new friends are everywhere. The weather is good in the afternoons, the mornings have been quite chilly and the evenings perfect. With the sun setting so late I'm able to go for nice evening walks. 


As for my class this last week, I was loving it. Yes lots of papers to write and books to read but I didn't care because it was so interesting and inspiring. I am still processing it all, when I'm done I'll share more. It was about choice theory or relational theory which is the opposite of behaviorism (Pavlov's salivating dog thoery). 

I've felt like the only person left on the entire campus of Pacific Union College, all other teachers go back home for the weekend but today I am off to the Elmshaven Church where I will worship God with family. It is nice to be alone and think, honest, but I am looking forward to family. 

I miss you all and think of you often. May You see how much God loves you and how He daily chooses you.

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
