Finally,

It has been a while since i've updated! We have arrived in the big country!!!!!!!!!!!! For thoes of you who have been praying for me and the fifteen hour flight........ THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS!!!! IT WAS GREAT!!! It didn't seem to long and the flight attendants were kind. I had a good flight. When we arrived at the hotel I was sooooo excited to be there. The people were in need of him and I was soo happy that our family would be able to help with that. Jet Lag was pretty bad the first two nights. I stayed awake all night the first night with my stomach in horrible pain I tossed and turned and moned it was really bad. THe next day it was ok. Praise God!!!!! We saw our apartment the next day and it was beautiful!!! Our bathroom was small and I don't know if my dad can fit in the shower. HE HE HE :o) Compared to the bathrooms that the people here have I have NOTHING to complain about!
One of the days we were here my dad and Katibeth as well as some other of our friends were in a taxi. You probably know how agressive the drivers here are. I hold on to the seat every time. well, what I was saying was that the taxi driver hit a van. No one was hurt. WE were in the other taxi and saw it happen it was pretty scarry! Now I kind of wish I was in the taxi with them so I could say that that happened to me. :O)
Yesterday, we all flew to another place were our permanet home is. It's VERY VERY VERY nice!!!!! WE will go fly back to our apartment on FRiday where we will spend two- three months in language school.
I'm SOOOOO excited to be here.To be doing what he wants us to!! It's awesome!!! Right now I have two prayer requests. One, the language is hard and confusing and there are so many times I wish I could use it fluently. I'm learnig word by word and tone by tone. My prayer is that the process would speed up. My other request is that the people on the streets wouldn't see us as rich and wealthy americans. Sometimes the staring is over welming. My prayer is that they would see us as people who love them and came to teach them. Not rich americans, but rich in another form.
Thanks for all of your prayers!!!!!
