No matter where I am I have friends who are half a world away. I want to stay connected and keep my supporters informed. Some times I will be very busy and only update once in a while. Other times I might bore you with how much I have to say :) Just check back once in a while when you are thinking of me and see what I'm up to!

May in Review

Another month is gone.  Where does the time go?  It has been so hot and humid that most days I feel like nothing is getting done because we are all so exhausted just from the heat.  I don't have air conditioning and most if the time that is okay, but I'll tell you this month I've wished I did have it!

I also don't remember if I shared this yet, but I have two roommates now.  One is just for the summer until she goes back to college, but the other will be for a while as she is still at the local high school.   At first it was an adjustment for all three of us.  Me getting used to sharing my private space, but for them living with an American makes them nervous.  It's been a month now and I'd say we are used to each other.  The younger one shares the bed with me and this week she has been gone for a youth camp.  I miss her and am so excited she will be back tonight!

I have also learned that if you ever want to visit me on Bohol you should not come in May.  Not only is it the hottest month, but it is Fiesta month.  That means travel to get here can be very difficult because the boats fill up fast!  I have never seen the ports so busy.  I knew what I was doing and barely caught a ticket arriving at the ticket office 6 hours before departure!

So, why was I off Bohol and needing to return?  I went to immigration in Cebu City to collect my Missionary Visa!  I have been approved to stay until next April!  It is so exciting I can hardly contain it!!! This means I shouldn't have to go back to immigration for about 6 months!

This week has also been exciting as the youth are finishing up their summer they have been doing a lot of fun activities. One of which is my class closing tonight 😀  Another is an all day event some of us are hosting.

All in all, life us good and God is amazing!  Maybe I'll post some pictures next week.
