We’ve been in Kunming for about a week already, and it’s been really sweet to be here. The jet lag is finally starting to wear off, and we’ve settled back into our apartment really well.
This week I met with one of my future roommates for our apartment in Wen Shan. She is about 10 years older than me, a Californian, super down to earth, and a really unique person. For your reference I’ll simply call her LA. I enjoyed the conversations we had and am excited for the few plans we’ve made for our apartment life. The other roommate I have not met yet, but LA says she is Chinese and awesome. (It’s pretty cool that all I’m hearing about the people in Wen Shan is that they’re awesome.) Daddy is so good and I can already tell that he is truly going to bless me through these two women and others.
The other neat thing about this week is I have been able to reunite with old friends and grow closer with new ones. It was a bit difficult for me in the beginning of our time back because I was worn down with feelings of loneliness… but there have been some really sweet encounters and encouragements that I am a part of the community here and have friends to invest in. Thank you, Daddy, for that sweet blessing.
The only downside for me this week is I have noticed some signs of rashes and bug bites showing up on my arms and neck… and they itch like crazy sometimes. As I’m writing this I just remembered that yesterday while I was running by the school my wrist rubbed on something fuzzy, and when I tried to get the fuzzy stuff off it sort of stuck… I got most of it off, but now I’m realizing that must be why there’s a rash there…. Still, there’s other little bug bites I keep finding on me and it’s slightly annoying. Our house seems to be attacked with mosquitoes every night, so pryers that they stay away and that we’re all relieved of the itches would be super appreciated. But more than anything, think good thoughts and hopes for our hearts and attitudes, because that’s where the healing starts.
PS I love comments little checks in the responses! :
