Been a while....




Hello! I hope everyone has been doing well. I apologize for the long delay since writing last...I know, my usual thing to start off with! It's definitely been a busy past couple of months, so let me see if I can break it down into sizeable bits!

School:
I faciliated the end of term play, so a lot of my time the last month of school was focused on that. The students were in charge of the production - the script, props, etc. They ended up doing a great job and everyone enjoyed it (or were just making me feel good :))! The term ended, report cards went out, and we started out break!

Break:
My body decided that after school was over, it could finally let down, and in doing so, I got sick. It was very unpleasant - a bad cold where I couldn't leave my house for a little over a week. Susan was a good nurse, and I had a lot of reading time, which is always good!

At the very end of being sick, our team left to go to our field conference in Tunisia. The conference was great - studying the life of Jeremiah. It was also a great time of relaxing and getting to know people better. On our off days, we were able to see El Jem Coliseum, the port, the Old Town Sousse, and go on camel rides! Now, I'd been on a camel before, but this was a five mile journey! Let me tell you, my legs were a bit sore after that!!!

Overall:
Life is going very well! It's definitely been a rainy week, and I've been enjoying the water proof trousers that my parents sent on my bike rides! What a difference!!! The electricity has also been MUCH improved recently, so hopefully that will continue!

Please let me know how you all are doing and what you are up to! And here are some pics to enjoy as well!
