Day 1

Hi everyone! I made it safe as mama said :) just got finished talking to a missionary couple that have been here for 7 years! They're cool. He's from Louisiana and she is from montreal. I went preaching this morning.... Very interesting! I met 3 deaf! The brother I was with had a bible study with a boy who we think is 12... Even tho the little stinker told me 17... Yea right lol. The brother was trying to teach the point of the signs before the end... He wasn't quite getting it... But other wise it was a good morning.
The brothers and sisters here r sooooo friendly! Lots of them speak English... Very helpful:)
Preaching here is soo different... A huge culture shock! Everything is different (obviously) the kh is about a half hour walk and it's through, the poorest part of what I've only seen so far. Heart breaking. The 12 year old study I mentioned has no home. He fled his home town and will sometimes sleep at other peoples homes. 12!!!! Crazy...
I miss home a lot right now. And I miss everyone so so so much! Thanks all for ur amazing support. I love my big family :)
Also I can't take too many pics for fear of my camera being stolen... So the pic I will post is outside my window here at the branch. If I can figure how to post it.... Lol
Bye until next time!
