a barrage of ants...

Training continues and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. We have 10 days left until we fly to Budapest on the 19th (technically we leave on the 19th and arrive on the 20th but ya know). It's a bit difficult to imagine leaving all my new friends since those of us in the Central Europe group have grown pretty tight. My teammates themselves are amazing and it begets a great excuse to travel to the Czech Republic and Slovakia to see them. Teaching last week wasn't too bad although there was a panic when we had to plan lessons for that evening and buy international life insurance all in three hours! Again, the Lord is good and carried me through the stress.
If you all could pray for more supporters for myself and the rest of the teachers here at TeachOverseas.org, we would all really appreciate it. I am fortunate enough to be in a pretty good spot for support (minus the new insurance policy) but some of my compatriots are struggling. Also if you could lift up the visa situations. The Slovak girls are all set and most of my team to Budapest is almost done, but only five of the 18 people going to the Czech Republic have their visas. If they don't go through the process in time they have to wait and find something to do and somewhere to be until they are free to enter the country. I can't even imagine how hard it would be to be prepared and leave not to mention if I had to go home until I could leave again. What a heart breaker! Oh, the "Barrage of Ants" comment is a reflection of the epidemic proportions of ants that live in our dorms. They are by far the dumbest breed ever as they much prefer pouring over books and sunglasses to candy and chips.
In other news I survived my first earthquake. Yes, I panicked a little, (Ohio does not move!) but we're all quite fine.
I'll be praying for you! Hugs and misses!
