Almost to Month 7

Just wanted to let everyone know that the dentist appointment went well.  I had plenty of novacaine, and hopefully this half root canal will hold me, and I won't need a full root canal!  Also in the area of language thank you for lifting me up.  Please continue to do so.  It is getting some better, but this language is hard.  Continue to pr I can learn this for His glory and honor.

I am now in my house, and things are slowly coming together in it Thank for lifting me up this past month.  Please go to prayforthehorn.com to see how you can be 1 in a million lifting up the Horn in April 2012.

Here are some pictures to hold you over until I update on Feb. 2, the official month 7 mark.

2. My first language helper with her cousin....this friend and helper is getting ready to move to America to join her husband after being married for 1 year!

                                                                                     6. A couple of weeks ago it was a holiday here called Temket.  I will tell more about it in the next update, but this is one picture of the parade that is such a big part of this holiday.

6 months......That's Halfway

Sorry that my update for month 7 has been a little late in coming.  There have been some problems with accessing blogs in Camel Land lately.  Cmas here (both of them) was better than what I had expected.  I got to spend Cmas eve with a family here and then again with them on Cmas day.  Internet and electricty were on and working that night for me to talk to my family.  Then New Year's eve I spent the evening with some new friends.  When January 7 rolled around for the traditional Cmas I didn't have a whole lot of plans, but on the Sunday following I went with a family here to eat with a national family in their home.  I left feeling very full!

Since I last updated I have finished pahse 1 in language, and I just completed the first week of phase 2.  I am feeling very defeated right now when it comes to language.  So please be lifting me up in this.  Pr that if I can do nothing else I would be able to get this language to bring Him honor and glory.  I have also now moved into "my house".  It is big and feels empty, but I now have my own bed and am slowly unpacking what little else I have.  Tomorrow, (Monday), I will go shopping for some furniture (table, chairs, furniture, bookcases etc), and then hopefully this week I will go shopping for a washing machine and curtains.  Pr that I am able to acquire these things.  Pr also that I will adjust to living in this house, and that all the mice and rats will be kept at bay.

On Tuesday this week I will have a root canal.  Please pr for this!  Pr that the doctor has enough novacaine and doesn't run out.  Pr that the proceedure doesn't need to become more envasive then what it already is.  Pr that I will also be able to recover fully.  This week I will not have language so pr that I will continue to listen and study on my own, and I will be ready when my teacher returns.

Again if you want to write me send an e-mail to :  racfarmer@mailbowiz.com through this I can give you my mailing address and a care package list if you are interested.

Also go to prayforthehorn.org to become 1 in a million pr for the Horn in April 2012.
