10 Things I've Learned So Far...

1. How to apply bug spray over my whole body while holding my breath.
2. How to hand wash my clothes (and get out almost ANY stain!).
3. How to conduct effective speech & language therapy with a child with almost NO materials or toys. Creativity is key!
4. That the words from my Dad that I grew up hearing at almost every meal "Be thankful & don't waste your food because there are children in Africa starving" now rings true at a whole new level! 
5. How to eat food with my hands and without a napkin--I am still working on this one, and washing my hands constantly!
6. How to kill a mosquito in just one try.
7. How to take quick, cold showers and enjoy them!
8. How to be a better "morning person"--getting up early enough before work to shower AND eat an entire fully-balanced breakfast is not usually my style, but I'm getting used to it. :)
9. That kids are still kids no matter where you are in the world; and a smile, hug, and some laughter is universal--no matter what language you speak, or even if you can't speak at all. 
10. It IS possible to survive without cheese. :) 


I am learning new things here everyday: about myself, about my God, and about this crazy world we live in. It turns out it really is a "small world after all"...
