Q1: Are you settled in yet?
A: Yep! It didn't take long at all to unpack. While packing I thought, "this is so much stuff!" While unpacking I thought, "sure wish I could've fit more stuff." It was not easy leaving some of my cutest outfits at home! But I was already wrestling with two suitcases in the airport; I don't think I could've handled another one.
Also, we went grocery shopping today, so now I have food too (notice how full my basket is)! No, I'm still not sure what my schedule will be. We have to hammer a few things out first.
Q2: Have you adjusted to the time difference?
A: Not at all. Jet lag stinks! I'm told it usually takes about 1 week. I sure hope that's right. The rooster outside doesn't help matters, lol. Oh and to answer another question, the difference is 6 hours.
A: Wet! The temp is mid 50s with 100% humidity, so it chills you to the bone. And the temp inside isn't much better. Up until now there has been a wall of fog everywhere the eye can see, but this afternoon it finally broke. Now that I can see, there's a lovely view from my window. Before then, this was the view from our veranda.
Q4: Have you met the other missionaries?
A: Between New Year's Eve and New Year's Day I have met almost everyone. Now I know faces, but names might take a little longer.
Q5: How's your European apartment?
A: Pretty cool! I also mean that quite literally. We're in the basement of a lovely house, but being in the basement means it's a tad bit colder down here. Thank God for space heaters! It's a nice apartment. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I don't have many pics of it yet, but this is the view upon entering the door. I love the tiled wall! I'll post more pics when I take them.
Did I miss any questions?

Hi Amy! I'm so happy everything's going well for you. I'm sorry I didn't really get to say good-bye and farewell....
btw, are you taking the activia challenge!?..jk...your friend, Sandra
Just wanted to tell you that I told Alyssa you wern't going to be there tomorrow and she started crying. We all miss you. It won't be the same tomorrow with out you.
I wouldn't worry about those clothes. You're better off getting some new clothes locally. You'll fit in better and you'll get to take them back home with you. Your adventure is just beginning.
