To all of you who are keeping J in your thoughts—continue to encourage her! She is really excited as the past few weeks she has been able to have several good, deep conversations with people she is meeting in the city and at the English Center. Now that she has been in her city for a few months, she has had the chance to grow relationships with these people and they are opening up and listening to what she has to say in a big way! J has continued to have several opportunities to share, and as she gets closer to people, she continues to have more opportunities.
On a less serious, less important note, J wanted to let you all know that she finally got her motorcycle license! She has had a bike for a while, but has not been able to ride it without a license. Now that she has the license, however, she hasn’t gone out riding on her motorcycle on the roads—she’s still a little nervous to venture out. I am sure that will change soon and she will
be whizzing around the city on her motorcycle!
J went to her first wedding in her new city, and she also went to her first traditional dancing show where locals perform traditional dances—J said it was really different and neat because they wear masks while dancing. She said she really enjoyed it and is planning to go again the next time. She also said she took a lot of pictures, so be sure to look at those when she posts them online!
J is going travelling around the country in a few weeks as well for vacation with the family next door and her new roommate while she is still there. They are planning on going snorkeling, scuba diving possibly, hiking, taking pictures, and sightseeing.
J’s pet Gus Gus died this past week; she thinks it was because there was a drastic weather change where it went from hot to cold quickly within the span of two days. She also suspects that he was might have been getting old—he was about a year old, which is old for those types of animals in domestic situations.
The Center has a lot of new people coming in, so J has been meeting a lot of new girls that she’s been able to get to know and start relationships with. They spend a lot of time with the people who come to the Center outside of class time, so there are plenty of opportunities for J to share with these new girls she is meeting!
That’s all for now—look for another update on what J has
been doing soon!
