Ha, I meant to come back and finish this, but got side tracked and never did... so, here it is.
oh my...already an entire month has gone by! This blogging thing is harder than it looks. Things are going good here. We have gotten to travel out of the city twice this month, and that has been GREAT! I love the ammenities the big city has to offer, but could easily give them up for the country life here. We went to a meeting for all of our coworkers in the Balkan region and had a wonderful time of worship. The kids got to attend VBS and we can't say thank you enough to the team from Alaska that worked with them. At first, Jonathan was very confused. When I told him he was going to VBS he asked, "But where will we go? There isn't a church at the hotel." It was a great way for him to see that we can worship our God anywhere!
Language is coming along swimmingly! I feel so much more confident about speaking with people that I often get into conversations way over my head and end up just smiling and nodding. Steven says this is because of my "Jones" tendancy to act like I know what I'm doing well enough, that people really do think I know what I'm doing. It is a blessing and a curse :) With language comes a freedom that I really enjoy though, so I'm not afraid to make mistakes and sound ignorant. Most of the time when I tell people I have been studying Bulgarian for only four months they are very impressed.
