In 10 days, it will officially be 3 months since I got here... WOW! I can remember sitting on my front porch in Texas, the day before I left, and was so worried about everything. God had me in his hands the entire time, and I am thankful to be a child of the King. I am surrounded by amazing people that are slowly becoming just like family to me.
My vacation ended on Monday and we started intensives (which is summer courses for the students that are summer vacation right now). So, I start teaching at 10:00 am instead of 2:00 pm... That is just a little bit of an adjustment. AND... I teach three more classes than normal, so it has been a little stressful, but I have enjoyed this week so much. God once again has placed some amazing people in my life and I am so blessed. I can't help but think that in 9 short months I am going to have to leave this place... That is already making me sad. This is becoming home to me right now and I am so glad to have the feeling of home in a distant country... It makes this so much easy.
So I walked into work this morning and there was a box for me... FROM CAMP BOND!!! It brought a few tears to my eyes... Everything in the box reminded me of my 2nd home and 2nd family. I get reminded everyday of all the people that are at home in the states that are thinking and praying for me. I never realized how much I was loved until I get here and feel the support of people half a world away... I can't even begin to express how thankful I am for that. In my box, I had everything from a woo woo, candy galore, a t-shirt, a camp bond lanyard, peanut butter, paintballs, band-aids, a cd, a few letters, shampoo, a golf ball, a rubber ducky, a ping-pong ball, two water bottles, and a fancy camp bond pen... It made me miss the summers that I spent at camp, but then again I know that God wants me here, and that they all will be waiting when I get home.
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you not forsake you!!" Deuteronomy 13:6
