Hey, amigos.
I figured I might as well start using the language. Kidding.
Rebekah, my principal that is my age (maybe younger) picked me up with
her family. They have a truck. We don’t have Internet here, so I couldn’t
contact you guys last night. For some
reason, my cell wasn’t working very well. I tried to text and it wouldn’t go
through.
I wrote this as an update on Facebook, but some of you don’t follow Facebook. I was so calm on my second flight
and at the airport alone. I could not
believe it. I actually started to laugh
a few times with God b/c it just wasn’t there. THAT is the opposite of my first
flight over. I just kept reciting Joshua
1:9 to stay calm and not cry about the unknown. By the end of that flight, I fell asleep. J Anyway, Rebekah and her son, Malachi, were
waiting for me with flowers, cookies, and A HUGE sign from my new class. IT WAS PERFECT! We drove back to Bekah’s, which is about 45
out in Jarabacoa. We had Jesus chit chat
the whole way. Loved it. Her husband really knows the Lord—I don’t
know how to word that any other way, so the convo wasn’t your typical Christian
chit chat. They are trying to plant a
church in east bum. She said it isn’t
even on the map. I think I am going to
check it out this week. There is also a
church that is in English. Something
about US teens that are addicts that are sent to the DR for rehab????? Instead
of prison or something? I really don’t
know, but I like the sound of that ministry.
So, I don’t know what happened with housing, I didn’t
ask. She just stated that I will be
living alone. I don’t know whether to
jump up and down about that or be a little freaked. She and her husband live a few doors down, I
have 3 teachers upstairs, and there are bars on all the windows. I have not been there yet to see it. It is not ready. There is not furniture for it or
something. Or maybe it is missing
some. I will play it by ear. I am writing quickly, so this is a mess. She flipped the switch for hot water so I can
shower. She said I will have
3-5mins. Great! My coffee is very strong and is
horrible. I have hazelnut creamer
packets. We don’t have a/c and I slept
WELL last night. Better than I have in
weeks other than waking every few hours to roll over and thank God for what He
has done and continues to do...especially for my peace at the airport when I
was sure I would lose it. I love those
middle of the night prayers. I don’t
even feel in control of them.
So, I didn’t pack any housing things in FL bc I figured the
basics were already here with my roommates.
I will have to buy or have the girls send me things like baking sheets,
oh just about anything to live somewhere.
Sometimes, I fret about money. I
think, this is going to cost a lot to pay all the bills alone and buy all the
things to live there….WHY?!! I do not
know. The LORD has showered me with so
much money and has taken care of everything.
He reminded me that several times last night and this morning. I have plenty of money, do not read that like
I don’t. It is just what I think…stupid
and not true. (Amazing Grace My Chains are Gone is playing on the computer out
there J Love it!
They play our music allll the time!)
Alright, headed to school to meet people and start
tomorrow. Love you guys!! I’ll email this when I get Internet.
