, and it is beautiful (but without air conditioning, awful at first, but now not so bad). My bedroom 
before I hung posters of Georgia O'Keefe's "cross" and a Picasso poster with people dancing. Thes is the
living space, which is shared by 3 housemates plus myself. All girls: one Thai, one German, and two americans...and they are lovely. This 
is our kitchen: a fridge, a microwave, a stove/oven and no dishwasher (that's us!).So in the past few days, I've been
here at my school, busy working on my classroom
, and getting curriculum ready and grocery shopping and all. I'm getting acclimatized finally and am not sweating all the time, as I was the last week. I don't think I will get an air conditioner in my bedroom, as I am now getting used to sleeping right in front of the fan. And who needs sheets when you have a tank top on?? right?? I am buying a bike this next week, so I can ride to school. You can be praying for me, because I will have to ride on the super highway 
and it is scary...six lanes of traffic and no real traffic laws or a least not many follow them. I will be wearing a helmet and the clothes of God each day as I leave, trust me!!
This picture is from the Baan Duu Market where I get fresh food - fruits, vegetables, fried chicken and sticky rice (a new favorite of mine). You can also get live fish, slushees (shaved ice, coke, in a plastic sack with a straw), and more...hair ribbons, clothes, shoes, anything you could ever need, all within walking distance from my new house. I took the picture last night when my housemates and I went out for Pad Thai (a noodle dish with bean sprouts, eggs, veggies, dried shrimp (eww...), and other stuff. Without the shrimp, mine was really good. If you noticed in the picture, it was storming since this is in the middle of monsoon season. We were all soaked when we got back, but the clouds were fantastic. You can barely see the mountains in the background (but I will get more pictures of the beauty around me soon). Needless to say it was a fabulous time!!Something I'm working through right now is...praying for wisdom!! This is a crazy new adventure that I am on and my enemy is real and pretty perturbed. The school is always under attack as are the missionaries involved. I am learning to walk in wisdom and protection, not rushing the field, but approaching each day with a game plan, as is necessary!! Keep me in your prayers...it is intense and I am in the middle of a BIG ADVENTURE!!!
and going to eat Mexican tonight with Dean Tubbs and his girls...THANK YOU GOD!!! I'll post pictures next time!! my love...
