Jordans & Schoolwork

Liz and I spoke at Jordans Rotary Club on Monday evening - such a welcoming group of men (and one woman!). After our talks, so many people approached us with questions and stories from their own experiences. A really nice evening! Plus, I love getting to talk to my friend Liz.

Schoolwork is going really well! I am writing an essay currently about international influence (or lack thereof) on democratisation in Africa. Fascinating! What a blessing to be enjoying my work! It seems like I have so much more to do compared to last term, but since I sort of know the ropes and have gained a bit of confidence, I feel infinitely more relaxed. Thanks everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers! Sometimes it is slow-going, but for the most part every minute is fresh and exciting.

Because of the snow our football match was canceled this past weekend, or else you would have heard from me directly :) Hopefully we will get to play this Sunday, but the fields are still so wet there is a chance the groundskeepers won't let us. After all the beautiful snow, it is now back to English weather: rainy and cold. But I am used to it, and there has been some sun over the past 2 days! Plus I have super cute rain boots....

Now I am going to relax and read a novel! Yay!
