i've troubled for you, from time to time...

as i sat in the heat watching the embers in the fire pit burning, i thought i heard "troubled for you"... and then i realized i wasn't at stronghold at a summer evening campfire, but rather it was a february afternoon, and i was burning my trash. oh life is so different here!
well, anyways, things are going well here. i have adopted the "do something, even if it's wrong" method of work in the library, so i took it upon myself to clean out a storage room the other day. apparently anything on the campus that people didn't know what to do with they stuck in this storage room. but i got it in order. :)
some days i can't believe that i've already been here for six months, and other days i can't believe i've only been here for six months! i feel like i'm starting to get the hang of just "being." i've found that i enjoy not being crazy busy. it's nice to have "down time," maybe not as exciting, but nice. since i am focusing on truely being involved in the seminary, i don't have many awesome stories to report this time... daily life is never as exciting as travel exploits!
my friendships are really growing with the seminary students, and i am very thankful for that. we have been having many enthusiasic debates about many things, and we are all suprised to see differences between africa and america where we thought there'd be similarities, and similarities where there'd be differences! one big difference we've noticed is the difference between what we think God expects from us. or maybe, more accurately, which comes first, faith or actions? i don't know what the answer is, but it was one heated debate, let me tell you!
thanks for your prayers, and know that you all are in my prayers too! i hope everyone has a spirtually productive lent!!
peace-
