Actually I've been in Dallas for two weeks now! The first week was filled with picking up a load of books, getting a key card, setting up the house, meeting new people at various house parties, grocery shopping, and catching up with friends. My very first day of classes were cancelled due to snow (as you can see on the right) and the fear of more which turned out to melt throughout the day but now we're in the full swing of things!
Right now I'm currently taking Anthropology and Biblical Reflection on Mission which together we have 12 books and 2 sets of copied material to read. I'm not one that loves to read a ton and I haven't been in school for a while so its been a little odd trying to get back into the routine
. Nonetheless, I've already learned a lot and have been reminded of many things which were forgotten.
On Thursday I sent out my first prayer letter/card!!! It's been in the works for a very long time but I was waiting for certain things to be ready before I sent it out. The letters and cards were sent to everyone that I had addresses for and/or signed up at Two Rivers Church to be on the mailing list. If you are reading this and would like to receive a prayer card and/or receive updates, please send me your info., I'd be happy to send you one! As I was walking to the mail box I started just getting knots of excitement in my stomach! Two of my housemates prayed with me and I dropped them off into the USPS system! So far I haven't heard if anyone has received them yet.
God has definitely blessed me with an amazing house of ladies and a wonderful/very affordable home which has been named "The House of Awesome"(which is the house in the picture above) We've had a few guests to visit our new home but we actually had an "moving on the block" party on Saturday where we were blown away by the company, food, games and conversations! Each of us that live here are uniquely different but get along extremely well and we each represent Guinea, W Africa; Papua New Guinea, Thailand, SE Asia and undecided.! Our home decor represents these countries; for example, there is a sword with 7 different daggers in its case in the center of the room!
