1 month to go!

Heyyyy everyone :) hope everyone is well! I'm sad but! I had a burst of happiness this morning! 3 weeks ago my mom sent me a package with shoes, clothes, clif bars and other goodies. I kept going to the post office to see if it arrived, but every time it hadn't. I thought it might have been stolen. Well yesterday I went and it was there!! But I had to wait till this morning to get it. But it's here! Yay! I was so happy:)
So what news? There is a couple from Miami that will living here for a year or two. I really like them :) this morning the brother that drove us to the post office is from Canada. I got the chance to ask him questions about his journey to Burundi. Well, him and his wife are in their 50s. They served as special pioneers in Canada. Then they got invited to serve at missionary status in west Africa. He said his wife had to really think about it. But they decided to. They lived in a house with 12 other missionaries. Needless to say it was never boring! They thought after a year they were ready to go home, but they decided to stick it out and stay maybe 3 yrs. Then 5 yrs came... Then 12 yrs! But then they were asked to serve at bethel here in Burundi. They have been here for 3 yrs. he said they never regretted having stored all their treasures in heaven... Because they have none on earth lol. I told him they are a wonderful example for people like me. The self-sacrificing spirit they display is wonderful. He was so humble too. He said nooooo! We have done nothing! We are not special! But of course I disagreed :) he is such a sweet brother! Very ADHD... Lol.

The preaching here really is wonderful. The brothers and sisters here are sooo stinkin zealous! I'm learning a lot from them. It's crazy to see people walk up to them and ask... Ask! For some literature! And it happens more than once in a day. Sometimes if they are preaching on the street they will have a crowd of people around them listening and wanting their own magazines to read. America is so different...

My 2 studies are still good. Still very regular :) I will miss teaching someone when I come home... But maybe Jehovah is just training me for that one deaf study I might have when I get home ;) hehe

Some sad news, due to Jen's family situation Stacey has decided to postpone her arrival. Hopefully she will come soon:) it just means she's a very loyal bestie :)

Well I miss everyone and can't wait to see you all in a month. Oh! Also my flight home was cancelled... So I will probably be arriving home 2 days earlier. But I will definitely miss the brothers and sisters here very much! Especially brother and sister Leonard and nancy Ellis. They have truly taken me under their wings. They have been absolutely wonderful. Can't thank Jehovah enough for those 2.

Well I think I talked enough :) love you all!

Hi hi hi! I know it's been forever since I posted... Sometimes I get lazy and don't feel like typing hehe. But anyway I hope everyone is well :) I am:)
So, my one study has been consistent and regular :) she seems to enjoy what she's learning even tho she's very busy at home and has lots to do. But she puts that all on pause for us!
The other study with the sickly son... Hopefully tomorrow she will have her study since her son is now doing better :)
As for the other woman that missed our appt.... She has continually missed every week.
Today a sister, myself, and a brother went on a study. This is the sisters first deaf study and it's with a girl whose parents are opposed... But they weren't home today :) I went very well.
Wilson's: I saw the boy one more time at the bus station, other than that I guess he's ok... But he was so cute! I just wanted to take him home!
So right now we have a bethelite couple staying with us for the weekend. They gave up they're room for another couple. We're having the Zone meeting this weekend so there's many visitors staying at bethel. But that brings the number of occupants in the house to a grand total of 8! I'm feeling a bit cramped... But it's only for a short time. And the other German couple will leave on Sunday so it will be much better after this weekend! Lol.
Well I'm sleepy and ready to go beddy bye.... Although my roomie is rite next to me skyping... Hmmm, I might cut somebody! Just kidding... :) lol.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! I heard it was supposed to be warm today, enjoy!
Love you all, chat:)
