This is a traditional village. A "rat-prof" rice barn and had weaving.

What do you wair to the beach on New Years day in 90 degree weather?

More friends for the holidays!

These are some of the fun friends I got to see over the past few days. I had to go to immigration in the capital but was able to stop and see a friend there and then keep going and see my Iraqi friends that have moved. My friend who was in the accident had gone on a

trip and I didn't see him but got to see his wife and girls. We also have had friends stop by this island and there are more coming in a few days!

Merry Christmas!

I final got some things put up on the walls of my house and I think it looks homey now. I also decorated for Christmas. I think I'll have an open house for Christmas and try to have some friends over to eat, if I can figure out some food...

My guest room is still ready and waiting for you to come over. The curtains don't match, they and the pillows belong to my landlord. I haven't gotten around to making any new ones yet.

I'm proud of these photos.

"Older sister, can you take me to Salong?" my friend asked. So we jumped on my bike, rode an hour and a half to Salong, then back with a new glass eye! Not very many other people run across an island to pick up an eye ball for a friend.

The drive there was beautiful, banana trees, palm trees, and rice fields all bright green.
My "niece" was about 18 months old when I moved here and she'll be 3 on Thanks Giving.
I'm thankful for the life God has entrusted to me!
