"Having fun isn't hard, when you've got a library card!"
Look how cute and quaint!
I’m sitting in Lane Memorial Library (above) now (which is not a public library, but private and I’m not really sure if I’m even allowed in here…but its BEAUTIFUL! And no one told me to leave so I think I’m ok) sitting in an old blue chair just soaking up the loveliness and the peace that comes when I am away from the house.
I have come into such a routine here. Every Friday I get off work at 3, ride my bike home, then ride my bike into town, cash my paycheck and then ride around town for a bit before I head home. This is the first time in my life that I have actually had a real schedule where I know exactly what the next day brings, and while it can become somewhat monotonous, I am thoroughly enjoying it.
Last Sunday I was able to go to a Boston Red Sox game—what an experience that was! Fenway Park is WICKED AWESOME (as they say up here in New England) and I felt like I went back in time the moment I stepped into the park. I will remain loyal to my Pirates, but the Sox have become my #2 baseball team. It’s probably a good thing I’m leaving in a little over 3 weeks or I may eventually become a Pats fan….YIKES!
Check out these seats!!!
Work is going great. Some of the students on project have grown weary of working and dread going in every day, but I honestly cannot wait to see what hilarities the Hampton House Hotel has to offer every day—not one day goes by without running into some individual that God took some extra time on to make them fabulously unique. I know that I have said it several times already, but I really am considering making a TV show about this hotel…today I started writing down some main characters and little quirks that make it so doggone uproarious.
I work with several Russian students and they hold a very dear place in my heart. They constantly are mocking me and making fun of me, laughing at the silly things I do (like run into walls while I’m talking to them—oh my was that embarrassing) but I still love them. I have been learning some Russian from them as well and hope to continue learning this exceedingly complex language on my own time when I return to school.
In my last post I explained how I was given the leadership position of Assistant Project Director. It is a massive challenge. I am very grateful to the Lord for entrusting to me this burden, though, because at the same time, it is such a blessing! Honestly. I know that God is really working in my thorugh this position.
It was lovely to have a visit from my parents this past week and my two younger sisters. Having them with me for a couple hours was great and it was good for them to see where I am and to get an idea what the community is like up here.
Finally, I want to thank everyone again for supporting me. God is faithful. He does provide. He cares about all the minute details in our lives. I have been immeasurably blessed by those who have prayed and have given to me financially. At times I have been very discouraged here, but know that the Lord is teaching me so much. I think that life just moves at such a ridiculously fast pace that I have not had time to sit and ponder all that He is doing. So I am looking forward to sitting on my back porch at home and spending a whole entire day with the Lord!
This post is not too long this time! I know that it does not contain too much detail, but hopefully gives you all a little bit of an update!
