-3 different jobs
-6 new nieces and nephews
-11 new languages studied
-19 countries visited (15 for the first time)
-way too many books read, papers written
-a handful of genuine, lifelong friends made

 
Praise Him for this period of my life! Looking forward to what's next!

Catching Up

A lot has happened so far in 2015...

-I had the chance to spend 2 weeks in Thailand in January finishing some coursework for my Master's and reconnecting with other friends doing the program. It was a very encouraging time!

-We opened our English center "English Together" in the beginning on February and started off with nearly 30 students

-I turned 30...how did I get so old so fast?

-I've had the chance to travel a bit, including getting to see some beautiful parts of this country

-I had friends visit me for about a week, getting to see this country up close and personal

-I've slowly but surely made progress in Arabic and my friendships are getting more solid

-I've gone through some of the most challenging days of my life, but I've seen how God is always faithful

Now I'm realizing how fast time is flying and how the next 5 months will slip away before I know it! I'm trying to be 100% here, but I am also starting to look at some options for the next great adventure...
