It's the first week of classes, regular team meetings and tutoring, which means we're meeting teachers, tutors and classmates for the first time, and we're eager to initiate friendships! Drew and I must adapt to shifts in our family responsibilities, as we are now students. So -- it's time to build good foundations for the semester.
These are specific things you could think of in the next weeks. Thank you.
- Teamwork: Health and synergism to do a good job here in Changsha (our teammates: Bisty, Ani, Emily, Portia)
- Our Marriage: Adaptability and mutual service to one another as we figure out how to cover family responsibilities
- Our Contacts: Our focus is teachers, tutors and classmates. You can ask for receptive hearts in these people -- for friendship, and for sharing and studying the word. Specifically,
1) we are planning to have an American student over for dinner next week. He is new to Changsha, a little lonely and culture-shocking.
2) there's a Turkish couple who we also hope to have over for a meal.
3) Drew has a male teacher who seems to be eager for friendship.
- Housing Situation: We meet with the landlord either tomorrow (Thursday) or Friday to discuss the rent situation. He's not pleased that our agreement is for six months rather than twelve. Of course we hope his heart will change.
- Titus: You can feel free to ask for perfect health and happiness for him on a consistent basis!
Thanks so much,
Drew, Rachel & Titus
