Shifting Sands

This city was built upon desert. The plants living in its soil are either too young and fresh for the adversity of living in this place to affect their petals. Or they have retained their footing and held their ground - fighting off punishing winds and patiently relying on their occasional shower from above. This month they are showing how much beauty Their Creator blessed them with. And boy do we need to see it. This is not an easy place to live - for any of us - and yet blossoms can be found at their appointed time.

My local Site Leaders lost their main source of income, I was forced to leave the country on a train alone (but I got back in), there are 5 culturally stressed college women dwelling around me (not to mention my own stressed voice - at times joining in the cacophony), we teach English to Narnians - my class begins at 7:00pm... I teach without a partner. Most of my team-members are paired with veteran teachers. Here's to lesson plans and white boards!

Just when you don't think Life could be turned up a notch - something new gets going...

speaking of which I have to get going to a meeting.
PLEASE THINK OF my team. :) We're still in the "Forming" - "Storming" phases.
Four months in and a lot of lessons learned!
Love,
Yvonne
