Going on the third week in camel land

When this week comes to a close I will have been here three weeks.  Thank you for everyone who has been hitting their knees.  I am struggling with being here; hearing things from Dad I didn't expect to hear.  Good things from Him, yet hard things still and harder still to try and understand what He wants me to do and when.  Please keep hitting your knees.

Today was the first day of language school.  I learned the words for man, woman, boy, girl, child, baby, old man, old woman.  I also learned how to sit, stand, sleep, go, come, stop, and run all in another language.  However, me trying to say these words just yet is another matter.

I know that many of you are looking for that mass e-mail, and it is coming shortly.  Our amenities here are short lived many days, which means many days we go without electricity, little water, and often internet refuses to work.  Keep asking that some of things would get better, and that we would have patience.  If you would like to drop me an e-mail please do so at the address on the back of my card.

Rachel
