Week 3 3/31/10
Our move to an apartment did not work out so we are still in the hotel, and have not received a car. Communication/cultural differences result in confusion at times, but we know who is in control!

Last Sunday we were taken on a sightseeing trip to a resort area at a mountain 1 1/2 hours away. It was a very nice place to visit and see the tourist attraction. The weather was a little cold and foggy up on the mountain.

Classes are going well, the students are very receptive to our oral coaching and learning activities. We have had no contacts outside of class yet.

Today was warm!!!!!! I was able to remove some layers of clothing and walked about 1/4 mile to a grocery store for a few items that we can eat for a change from the restaurant food. We found mayonnaise and had banana sandwiches.

The hotel staff are very kind to us. We are becoming well-known, but only one staff member can speak any English. The wait staff are as helpful as they can be and so friendly. We were given plates of fruit to have in our rooms as a treat. We pray that His love flows through us to them.

We hope to attend church again this Sunday and are thinking of you all during this very special week.

Love, Martha
