The first at SIMGo is over. I has been such a great week, but it feels like several. We have compacted a lot of stuff into such a short amount of time. The up side is I have learned a lot and had a lotof questions answered. The way mind works is that I wake up around 2-3am every morning thinking about things. Let me be really honest, not so much thinking as stressing over things that I have no control over. This week have been working on surrendering all that over to God. Last night I slept the whole night for the first time since I got here. It could be from exhaustion or from surrendering all my worries to God, but I think it was a combo. I will find out for sure tonight.
I love everyone here. My suite mates and I are like a funny sorority. Down stairs are all the married people who are like a family unite too. We only have one couple with kids who have blesses us so much. Sterling and Emi have two daughters named Geneva and Allyse. Geneva is like a star in the dark sky. She lights every room that she enters. Her smile will melt the coldest heart. I love that little three year old girl. Allyse is a precious nine month that is mostly only interested in mommy. The fact that she likes me makes me feel so special. I was so blessed to have her actually fall asleep in my arms one night.
The other day God really blessed me by providing for a specific need that was bringing a small level of anxiety. Moving to another country does not make me afraid or worried, but the transportation to and from airports do. I still do not know who will take me, but I have a few months to figure it out. (Any volunteers?) Anyway, I just happened to be in the area of a couple that live in Cochabamba. They were here dropping off their daughter at camp about an hour away and visiting for the afternoon. About five minutes after being introduced to Jose Antezana and his wife, I had a church family that will be there waiting for me to get there. They even volunteered to pick me up from the airport. I will not be a stray figuring things out once I get there now. God is so good.
