Hello Everyone,
Today was a bitter-sweet day. It was my second day teaching school. We had four classes, and all but one were pretty behaved. Today was my first day teaching tennis. I enjoyed this the most. The nice thing about teaching tennis is that I am teaching with two workers that are men so they are able to interpret for me and the children listen to them very well. On the down side of today I am pretty sure that I lost one or two of the boxes that I sent back in June. I don't completely remember exactly what was in the box, but I'm sure it can all be replaced. I have only been here for four days, but it feels like four weeks. Tonight I steamed an onion, carrot, and bell pepper that I purchased in town yesterday. They were good, but I bought some soy sauce and it was not the type that I am used to. I am slowly becoming a vegetarian, I have not eaten any thing with meat except last night we had pizza. The pizza was definitely different. It had some vienna sausages on it... My papa would have liked it. I am excited that there is a large group of volunteers coming this weekend. Usually we are invited to eat with them, and they are coming from Alabama so hopefully they will have some good food. I really appreciate all the support and this is just the beginning.
God Bless,
Lindsey

Bummer on the box! I'll be praying about that. I'll bet it shows up before you leave! Go in the warehouse and look for it. I'll bet it is there somewhere. If not, you'll probably find something else you can use. Try to teach the tennis in small groups if you can. Just ask and tell them what you need. Sometimes the mob can get crazy. If you need hugs go to the toddler house and sit down. They will hug and climb on you all day. It will lift your spirits! I am praying for you and know God is going to use you mightily! Love, hugs, and prayers. Laurie
Psalm 62:5-8
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God He is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge. Selah
Hey! Linds!
My favorite part of those verses is "He is my mighty rock" I'm not that good at memorizing scripture but I say that part alot.
I am very excited to hear you are pursing 2 dreams of mine that I have for you: tennis pro and missionary! It sounds like you are adjusting very well. I hope you get some good home cooking when the Alabama folk get there! I am not soo sure about the Vienna Sausage Pizza. Bummer about your boxes, but you are going to be amazed by what you can live without. We love you and me, Chris and the kids are praying for you everyday. I tried to attach a pic but it would not let me!
Lots of love!
