Yes, I'm still alive
Sorry it's been a while since I posted. The last girls to live in this apartment apparently left without paying their phone bill, so in order to get phone, internet, cable, etc. we'd need to pay a huge fee. Instead of bothering with that, we're looking around for another phone company.
In the meantime, I can only connected to the internet intermittently when my roommate Pascale isn't using her computer and the atmospheric conditions are right for tapping into our neighbors' unsecured wireless network. So I probably won't be updating regularly. If you want to get in touch with me, please e-mail me and wait a day or so.
I just spent 30 minutes writing about my roommates, my apartment, the weather, my job, etc., but then Pascale's computer deleted it. Blah. I really don't feel like re-typing it right now, so just be assured that I'm alive, I'm well, it rains here even more than England, and I really, really like the instant okonomiyaki mixes you can buy down the hill at the grocery store. More info later.
If you happen to remember me at prayer time, I'd appreciate it if you'd keep praying for my church situation. I talked with my area manager, and she was VERY sympathetic. Apparently it's fairly common for teachers to request certain time off on Sundays for church. Unfortunately, the period from 11:00-1:00 on Sunday is the busiest time of the week, and she really can't spare me then. She says if I can find a church with an earlier service, at 8 or 9 or so, or an evening service after 5, she will change my schedule so I can attend. So I'm going to e-mail the church I had intended to attend and ask if they know of another Bible church near my house that has services at a good time for me.
Love you all!
