I will be home soon.

So Second Language Acquisition is zapping my brain, but it is important to know. It will be nice to have a day to just do laundry and have a hot cup of tea! There was so much to learn and so little time. The course we took in 2 weeks usually takes a whole quarter to do, but I might make it. :-{) Hope you are having a great week. Mel

How cool are you?

If I haven't said this recently, I will now. You guys are cool. Thank you to all of you who have prayed, given money, pushed and prodded me, loved me, encouraged me and helped make this process so much easier and fun. The body of Christ is an amazing thing and I love being a part of it. I arrive in Sacramento on Oct. 12 and look forward to worship at Westside on Sunday. Miss you all. In His Service, Meliss

My Brain is about to Explode

If there were ever a possibity that your brain could explode, this would be the time. I am on information overload and I think I actually heard my brain short. On the positive side, I am learning a lot of great things to help with culture adjustment, team dynamics, finances (ugh) and a lot about what makes me tick. That was the first three weeks, now we are doing SLA which stands for Second Language Aquisition. It is giving us the skills to more efficiently learn a language. It however does require a lot of homework and making funny sounds like a monkey. Please keep praying that I absorb all the info I need. Miss Ya, Mel
