PACKAGE!!!

I thought I'd share with y'all the joy I had last week from TWO PACKAGES that my mom and brother sent me! They sent some of the American things I was missing the most, like Sour Patch Kids candy and bags of brownie mix and chocolate chips. For a country that has such a love affair with chocolate the way the Netherlands does, you'd think you'd be able to find chocolate chips, but noooo! That would be too much to ask. They also sent a DVD and some CD's. Now, if only they could figure out a way to send me a chocolate malt and a vanilla/cherry Dr. Pepper from Sonic... It's nice to be loved!

Girls' Night

I though I'd introduce y'all to some of my good friends here. On the left is Tracy; she and her husband are both from Little Rock (small world!), and she used to model. She's beautiful inside and out! Next to her is Becca, who has become my closest friend here, but will sadly be moving to London at the end of October. She's from South Africa/Mauritius/Belgium; I'm still confused on that! On my right is Rebeca Balderas, the lady who I first heard speak about her ministry in the Red Light District. We were out at the Hard Rock Cafe having an "American Moment" and celebrating Becca's recent graduation from YWAM's University of the Nations with a BA. Fun girls' night!
