An interesting fact about my life in China: my clothes are permanently starched. We wash our clothes and they come out stiff. Ironing is quite easy. They stay pressed and the process is much shorter.
Enough of that. Onto more important things...like hair. Okay, hair really isn't more important, but an update nonetheless. I got my hair chopped off during my trip to Yangshuo last week. It was almost to my belt, and now it's just below my shoulders. Quite a change, and I love it. There are pictures on facebook if you're really curious.
Speaking of pictures, can someone email me or send me a facebook message to confirm if the picture I tried to post is visable? I'm going to keep trying to post pictures on here in the hopes that they are visable.
Yangshuo was beautiful by the way. Google it for pictures. The geography is crazy. It's a little town where there are mountains of rock formations. We went on a hot air balloon ride (that adventure will be posted when I have more time) and got to see the splendor of it all. Listen to the song, "Indescribable" and you'll know what kind of images I saw. It was such a blessing to see His work.
School is going a lot better. Another American teacher has come to help me and Rachel. She worked at Eton House last year so she is a great resource. She and her husband were miss-onaries in the Phillipines for 17 years before moving to China 3 years ago. Amazing woman to say the least. The kids are growing on me and I hope I am doing the same.
I have a pr-yer request if any of you have the inclination...my college loans are really weighing on me, especially because I'm not earning much money here. Please pr-y for peace about it first of all, but also for the debt to be erased. I know the money will come but it does weigh on me.
I miss you all a lot. Things continue to get busier so I apologize for the lapse in communication on here, email, facebook, etc. Thank you all for hanging in here with me. And "mad props" to Teub because he asked me to do so since he's flagged my blog and reads it a lot :)
I love you all and I'm pr-ying for you as well. Keep looking up. That's where the miracles come from.
