Weeding & Witt and such

My Fellow "Witt Chicks" and I - me, Kristi, Rachel & Jessica

A weeding we will go - a weeding we will go - hi ho the derry o - a weeding we will go!

And mowing and trimming and more weeding - that is our afternoon today! I am now at Wittlingen with my fellow dorm staff the McClary's (my dorm family - with 5 lovely kids - new brothers and sisters!:)) and my fellow "Witt Chick's" - Kristi, Rachel and Jessica. We had a meeting to get to know each other a little more and pray and then went to work this afternoon after the first stage of All Staff Conference. It went pretty well - we got much done.

This week is a work week and meeting week and prep week b/f the kids come on Sunday. It is alot but needed. I am just glad my room is pretty much done now - just have some decorating and sorting to do - but I'm pretty much settled in - more than yesterday. I did a bunch of cleaning yesterday. That was good.

I have been very encouraged by the various emails from friends I have gotten lately - it is so good to know that people are praying for me - especially as I go through this emotional roller coaster. There are good, bad and in between times. I am glad I'm here though I miss home at times as well. It is a curious thing to be divided by two homes. The trickiest thing is to take in all that is given in information and be able to use it/ remember it. My biggest challenge has been in driving - learning how to drive 3 types of stick vans - I am more comfortable than I was but still have a bit to go in learning. Pray that I will learn soon. My dorm family has been very encouraging about this which I am thankful for!

Well, that's all for now - need to go rest for another full day tomorrow!!

More adventures to come (and I didn't even go into all the van troubles we have had lately - oy!) Anyway - have a great day!!
