Just a Quick(ish) Update

Every time I sit down to write a blog I say... This time I'll do better I and won't let a month pass before I update again. Well, this time I'm not going to say that I'm just going to sit down and write the blog and hopefully sometime in the near future I'll sit down and write another one. :D

  As far as fun and super exciting things go we haven't done a whole lot since Ogles' birthday. But we have been keeping busy. We're over halfway finished with our third quarter of school which is crazy to think about. We have two weeks until Spring Break and then after that we'll only have 9 weeks of school left! That's not long at all! CRAZY! The first term felt like it went on forever and this one just seems to be flying by. Some days I can't say that I mind, but then other days it would just be nice to slow down for a while.
Soon we will have been here for 8 months! In 8 months here I have seen more, learned, more and been challenged more that ever before in my life I'm pretty sure. I've had to adjust to life as an "adult," a teacher, and a missionary all in a very short time. Fortunately, I do not have to rely on myself to get through these things. It's been fun, It's been hard (I think I say that every time) I'm still glad I did it. 
 In other exciting news... I GOT A PACKAGE FROM MY FAMILY! It was full of lots of fun stuff and yummy goodies for us to enjoy here. OH and its official I'll be home this summer! Ogles has promised that tomorrow we'll go and pay for our plane tickets! I'll be home June 28th - August something 7, 8, 9 one of those days. and I must say I'm am very excited about it.

In a effort to be more blogger friendly send me your questions and I'll be happy (to do my best) to answer them.

Okay I've included a few pictures hopefully to make up for my lack of posting.
We recently got to show off our swim skills at our very own Kindergarten Swim Gala! 

Everyone did a great job! 

This a man riding in the back of a truck in the rain, holding onto some wood AAAND an umbrella, thats talent kids.

A giant snail. 

We took a field trip up campus to see Mr. Epperson's garden. His worms were, of course, the favorite part. 

Another picture, just to remind everyone that I live in a beautiful BEAUTIFUL place. 


As always prayers are needed and greatly appreciated.  Although I've grown to love this place and the people here, homesickness in still a part of life here. Pray for Malawi, the country, the government, the people, everything. Pray for my fellow missionaries. 

Until next time... 
"O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Psalm 95.1
