So I am officially here :) and I love it!!
It is very clear to me that these past few days have been blessed because I have already experienced some doubt and frustration and negative thoughts, but our Father has put some very awesome people in my path that have experienced the same things that I'm going through. And they offer encouragements and words from Truth!!
My heart is burdened for the people in this city already... 3 of my new friends here in the city took me down to the big marketplace called Lo Shwan(sp?) We were walking through the marketplace and heard a really loud ruckus... We saw a lady on a cart and a lady walking, and they were both screaming really loudly at each other. My friends translated for me and told me that the lady on the cart had hit the lady walking, and the lady walking was instantly demanding compensation for her "injuries". It was so sad to see because the desperation in both of their eyes was evident. Please keep opportunities like this in your Thoughts and lift them up daily.
This picture is from the window in my bedroom of my apartment. Notice the mountains behind the buildings!!! its a beautiful city, but there are definitely poverty-stricken areas, and more affluent neighborhoods... My apartment is in the upper-middle part of the city... I am blessed by a nice place to stay...
There will be more pictures and updates to come, but please keep the city and myself in your thoughts....
Love ya'll!!

Excited about a new post! Great pictures. Keep them coming as you get the opportunity. It helps to see what you see there. Just don't hit anybody with a cart. Good grief - some craziness is just universal I guess!! I love you. Mama
where did that time come from? i posted that at 5:55 pm on sunday?!!!
Baby Stubbs, What a blessing to hear that you love it and the people already. That makes missing you a little easier. What great pics here and on FB. In case I forgot to tell you before you left, KP wants to be a traveling Nurse. China might not be out of her realm. I will keep asking for her change of heart. I can still hope for you as a son in law - Can't I !!! Dana P
Kenny! I was pumped to get onto your blog & see a new post. Awesome pictures and a story already! So excited to hear more. We're so glad you're enjoying it already & we have faith that the Lord will continue to reveal more & more to you each day! - Heather & Kelly.

I will have to tell you about my shopping cart incident the other day! All I have to say is thank goodness the other woman didn't demand compensation!! Imagine a Walmart worker laid out on the floor in Walmart all thanks to me and the crazy "I've got a lot of kids limo grocery cart". It was crazy! And I felt horrible, but she was real sweet! Just thought you might want a laugh, I've got one around every corner with my busy life!! Love you and miss you terribly!
Love, your sis (the one with all the kids)
Hey Kenny,
I finally asked Alison how to leave a message, and when all was said and done, it was embarrassingly easy! It is so good to be able to keep up with you. Love the pics and the journaling. We miss you and are keeping you in our prayers. Love, Becky H.
