I've been here two weeks today. It's hard to believe that almost 25% of my time here has come and gone already! Anyway, I don't really have anything exciting today...I've just been preparing to move into my own apartment tomorow, woohoo! The first thing I did after getting ready this morning was bike over to my new apartment with Becky, to meet Christina (she is the missionary that normally stays in this apartment). We talked with Christina for a while and she showed me a couple more things about the apartment (the picture is of Christina and I in the kitchen of the apartment). Oh, and everyone who is praying for me, you can pray that I'm able to cook enough edible food to keep myself from utter starvation! You see even though I've lived on my own for over 2 1/2 years, I really don't know how to cook anything...not anything that's ok to eat anyway! At home I have a loving family including a mom, two sisters, and sister-in-law that feed me on a regular basis, some of them twice a week. I also buy pre-cooked meals and eat out whenever it's needed (I know it's never really needed, but you get my point). There really aren't very many pre-cooked meals here and I definately can't afford to eat out very much...I see a bunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in my future! Anyway, after we were through at the apartment, Becky and I biked home. The rest of the day has been filled up with doing laundry! Laundry here takes a long time because the washing machines are small and only take a 1/2 load, and Becky doesn't have a vented dryer. I had never used a ventless dryer before today but it takes about 1 1/2 hr. to dry one load! With this type dryer all of the water goes into a container in the bottom that you have to empty out after every cycle...as I told you is hasn't been a very exciting day, mostly just housework, boring!!! Well that's about it for today! Chow!

Have you ever used a'vented dryer'? :) I wonder if Becky could see how your mom & sisters like spoiling you? I sure miss making those meals for you! Between all of us, you'll gain a few lbs once you get home! Thad will have to help you work 'em off! :) So, they don't have pizza ihn the freezer case & things like that? Most bachelors from here would starve there! You're certainly not alone.....
