When I interviewed for this position in August 2019, I NEVER thought I would be selected. When I received the news I WAS selected, I never imagined my first 30 days in this beautiful country would be like this. And if I’m completely honest, I’m being affected in a negative way.
What’s still amazing to me is that God hears EVERY prayer, no matter how small. Even when our prayers have no specific request, He answers in ways we never imagined.
On Saturday morning, I was trying to think of something I could do to pass the time in my room (besides reading books, playing sudoku online, watching television and movies, going to the mini mart for food, and doing laundry next to the mini mart). I remembered, as a child, I use to play solitaire and card games with my Dad. It was always so fun. I knew I could play solitaire online, but I thought it would be more fun to purchase a deck of cards, if I could find one and if I would be allowed to. Look what showed up on my door last night…
Then today, when I went to do my laundry, a young man came in with his DOG! OH MY GOSH!!! He was the sweetest dog and he KNEW I was his fan right away! He came right over to me, loved on me and gave me the most wonderful kisses! I wish I had my phone so I could post a picture, but I didn’t. But I hope to see him next weekend when I return and I’ll be ready!
I read today that the quarantine may be extended to May 1st. I will continue to watch for special gifts given to me when I least expect them. One example is this beautiful photo I took on the shuttle last week…
