We're making it

Friends,

I'll post some pictures.  That will be good, because I'm tempted to tell you how hard this past week has been.  The reality is that there have been many blessings and challenges.  I was walking in the local park yesterday and really struggling with how many people were there and how many stares I was getting.  I was complaining in my heart about wanting to be back in the hills of PA walking with the cool weather when the only ones staring at me were the cows.  How do I go from cows to thousands of people?  I struggled internally to remember that each of these ones around we were souls that God created.  I fought to remember that my life is not my own, it was bought with a price and that means that I should willingly give mine up to serve the one who bought me.  Lets be honest, I wouldn't move across the world and be willing to learn a new life and culture if God hadn't saved me and called me to serve Him.  Praise God He is real and in control and building His Kingdom.  It is a privilege to serve Him.  It makes me reconsider what is real, and what I'm living for.

I love your response when Lawrence tells you someone kicked him: "That's unfortunate." :-) Ha!

I'll be praying for you as you re-adjust to life in a big city.
