First 6 Days...

How does a person describe the confusion of being thrown into a situation that is completely different than what is normal? Trying to describe what these past few days has been like is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Normally words come easily to me so bear with me as I attempt (about 7th time..) to write what it has been like.

I feel like one giant, ongoing anomaly. I feel like I haven't even left Canada yet at the same time I know that I am across the ocean. Maybe it's the fact that about 50% of the people here are Canadian or that I have been able to talk to my friends who are at home. It seems like I could just hop in a car and drive to church or back to my house... It's so strange to me. 

So far I have successfully completed a 10km walk with no socks in Birkenstock's (blisters!!!!), a church service very different from home, a day full of orientation, and being hungry every time I go to sleep. It has made for an amazing week. Finding a new routine has left me so exhausted that I have been going to bed at 10:30 almost every night (so strange...). I kind of want that to change and it might as I settle in more and more every day. I have to read 44 chapters from the Bible in order to finish it in the time that the school requires, which isn't hard but being told what to read took a bit of fighting the rebellious tendencies that I have. Anyways... the internet is going to shut off soon so I have to wrap this up :) 

I miss home but I love it here and I trust the God has me here for a reason and I am happy to see what He does with me while I am here.
