I almost forgot what it is like to wake up to the sounds of roosters (many roosters) crowing. It is certainly not something you hear in little old Aberdeen. lol. But here it is a continued thing from seemingly 5 am to 9 or so. lol. Stupid birds! I am sure that will slowly get less annoying. A girl can hope anyway.
I woke up this morning still exhausted but at least a little bit more clear headed. My tummy is growling and I hear that Jessica, the girl across the hall, made killer peach pancakes.. That's something new, but I am sure they are scrumptious! I can't wait to try one!
I have no idea what today holds, but I do know that Jen is eager to start taking pictures and moving through the day. For now, I am ready to follow her and do what needs to be done. I feel so much like a little girl unsure of what to do. I know that God has prepared me for this trip... but now that I am here it is so much like starting work at the church and knowing absolutely nothing about what I was going to be asked to do. God gives us strength and I know He will not abandon me here... but goodness...
Lord help me to learn quickly! The language, the skills and the things necessary to survive! I'll post some more pics in the next day or so...
The goodbyes at the airport yesterday still sting my heart. I just didn't want to let go of my parents or Jake or Sadie. In rounds I went around squeezing each of them and holding them tightly. I miss them so much already.... but God will strengthen us!
Till later -- time for pancakes!
