One Week In..
Today I have been here one week. It is a lot different for me this time around. Last year I was very emotional and struggled with culture shock as it was my first time out of the country. This year I knew what I was getting myself into and it has been a easier transition. The language barrier is still hard but its a process! I am happy to say that the girls were all very welcoming and they go out of their way to make me feel loved. Last year some of the girls were turned off to the idea of someone coming from the states and being a leader and that is a hard thing to deal with. I was surprised to see them all so grateful that we came to help them and they seem ready to receive. 🙂
I have tried a whole bunch of food and I LOVE IT!! I also tried some street food and luckily my stomach has been good. One of the second year girls loves chicken feet and she is excited to make it for me next month. :/ she is excited but im kinda nervous, but hey you cant go to a different country and not try all this food!
I know this is kinda random and short but I am trying to update real quick before we have to leave. I will update next week! LOve you all!!! Thank you for all your prayers
