It has been raining here for what seems like FOREVER, and I think it's getting to everybody. I'm finally adjusting to it not getting dark until 9:30 pm, but it is JUNE. Where is my warm weather?? It's freezing here. They tell me it is because of the rain - I need sunshine. How am I going to get as brown as a gypsy if it rains the entire time I'm here??? Ok, we all know that will never happen, but I can at least hope.
I think it was just especially hard today because our classes were much smaller than usual; in fact, none of my beginners even showed up(I only have four - two in the morning, and two in the afternoon) and those who did show up were so quiet. It was unusual because most of the students are usually so upbeat...I think we are all just ready for some good weather.
Before we left for class yesterday morning, Katie read me the headline about the plane that disappeared over the Atlantic. It was extremely sobering news for both of us, and I think it was probably on our minds all day - I know it was on mine. Katie knows more about planes than I do, and informed me that it was the same kind of plane that we flew on to get here. My heart goes out to all of the people who were on board and to their families, and will be remembering them in prayer. I really cannot imagine the hopelessness of such an experience, or the terror of being on that plane.
Katie took some pictures of
our apartment last night. I'll post one - this is the view from our balcony - I LOVE IT! I really wish you could all see how amazing this place is that we live in. This picture doesn't do it justice, but it is the best one we've taken so far. :)
