I am now a resident of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. I live with 3 other wonderful roomates in a beautiful apartment in town. I work about twenty minutes from my home at a place called Gateway Rehabilitation Center as a full-time evening counselor. It is wonderful and so difficult all at the same time. But one thing I can say is, God is good. :)

Hey guys, I'm a dork and changed my memory card, so i can't show you a pic of volleyball this weekend, but when I get the next chance, I'll put it up. So, Last weekend, I went to play in a tournament with the school team. I just wanted to point out a few interesting observations...We'll be leaving at 8am sharp means we'll be leaving at 11...a whole weekend tournament means sitting around all day and finally playing a game at night. When they tell you, "tons of universities will be there" it means we'll be the only team there. Therefore, winning a trophy means you play a sympathy match from a high school. The term "volleyball court" means a big grassy field. The "right net height" means I could probably hop over it. Having line judges means one at all four corners (of a highly miscalculated court length). Keeping score means some guy stands on the side making tally marks. A good pregame warm up apparently includes matoke, rice and posho that loves to just sit in your stomach. The "labero" is someone who can go in whenever, wherever and for whomever she wants. Staying hydrated amidst the scorching sun is not an option...haha, I hope you enjoyed my observations. It really wasn't bad and the team was a lot of fun.

Alright, I am heading out for the next week to a town called Soroti...it's north of here about 5 hours. I won't be able to email or blog for the next 10 days either, just to let ya know. I'll be staying with a family in a more rural area than last time...i really am excited about htis one but I have no idea what to expect. If you could, just pray for my contentment with whatever comes my way, that I would just learn and enjoy a new family life, and that my heart would be open to whatever God is showing me. Thank you all so much for your support and your comments...i love hearing from everyone....and emily, I miss you tons and I'm sooo glad we got to talk on the phone last night. you are AMAZING and I love you so much! I love you all. Have a great week!
