One Month!

So, we've officially been here for one month and well...I'm slipping into the rhythm of life here. I'm also constantly slipping into a pair of slippers. That's me and our tutor/friend and us in our slippers. It's custom here to take your shoes off at the door and not wear your shoes into the house. So we wear slippers around the house. Most Turks do this here. It's just custom.

We are quickly becoming good friends and this is just a TREASURE to me! She is so great! We had lunch Monday and I found my new favorite lunch place. Doner is a ton of meat that they roast over a fire. Then they slice off thin slices and put them inside of pita bread with lettuce and tomatoes and roll it up. Kind of like a gyro. It's been good at alot of places, but this was my favorite place to have it! Or maybe the company was just my favorite! We had a great lunch talking about shopping, guys...or lack there of in our lives right now (smile), and what we believe. It was really a great lunch and I look forward to many more! I'm going to miss her this week!

We have put Turkish lessons on hold shortly. We're having an ESL mini-conference this week. A great lady came all the way from the States to help us out with some techniques and give us some teaching ideas. I think it's gonna be so helpful! I think my student will agree during our next lesson! I've got some new things up my sleeve!

We're going to Tarsus on Thursday, so that will be awesome to literally walk in some of Paul's footsteps. How awesome to live in this place where his eyes were opened, his heart changed, and he learned to live by faith in the One who loved Him and gave Himself up for him. That's the beauty of grace.
