this week was one of the best weeks i have had in a while for a lot of reasons... i had my last turkish lesson [which is somewhat of a relief], i had a neighbor come by and apologize for asking me to lie for her [totally unexpected], a friend texted me asking for a copy of the Book [um, wow!], i gave it to her and she agreed somewhat enthusiastically to meeting once a week to read and discuss it together [WOW!!!], lots of people came to ETT [as compared with 4 the week before], two of the girls asked me on to campus for tea/coffee soon [much wanted], aaaaand i heard news on what i will be doing when i get back in august.. and it's SO exciting!!!
i am very content here and i know that now, more than ever, he is at work in people's lives around me. he's blessed me SO much by allowing me to see a little bit of what's going on in this place. as happy as i am here and as little as i want to think about leaving next august, i am soooo excited about what i'll be doing when i get back. i am so thankful that He has provided this opportunity for me. i know i will need continue to spend a lot of time in prayer preparing for that which he's called me too. UofM, i'm coming back in August! [except without all of the books and studying--yeah!]...
also, tonight we had an ETT Christmas party! we played a lot of silly games like musical chairs, bingo, pin the nose on the reindeer, limbo, etc. and had some great food.... but, the best part is a LOT of people showed up.... 31 people came. 11 Turks. 10 Americans. 8 russian/moldavians. 1 estonian. and 1 turkmen. quite a diverse group. so here are some pics to enjoy....
