There is a coffee shop here called "Traveler's Coffee" the name couldn't be more appropriate! And it's written in English! I actually drink decaf now a days so it's more of the atmosphere that I miss :) But I honestly can't complain! I will find a new " happy place!" God is so good! Thank you for the encouragement!

Oklahoma was an adjustment for me to moving from Florida! Ha! talk about culture shock! The time difference isn't too bad since it's 13 hours ahead. So we get to talk to people first thing in the morning or in the evening so it's not to bad. But I like talking to people when I'm cleaning and cooking but that will be a good time to listen to sermons. :) Thanks for the encouragements!

You will find that God will fill your life with really more wonderful blessings in their place. Love the pictures of you with your language teachers. You'll learn. Listen, copy, and learn. And, it's okay to laugh at yourself when you say something really off the wall.

There was adjustment too but not on as grand a scale. For me it was about my new role as a pastor's wife and what was expected and the differences in culture (yes Missouri and Oklahoma are different!). Like I said it was a smaller scale for me but an adjustment none the less. God always shows Bob and I sunsets when we make a life change that reminds us we are where He wants us. I'm sure the time difference will be such a factor for communication with your loved ones here.
