Since the last time

It's been a good while since the last time I wrote on this blog. For anyone who reads this on a regular basis I'm really sorry. To bring you up to date, this is what's happened since February...



I went to school full time in January and part of February. I was supposed to be in school only until the end of the second week of February, but a coup in Chad changed that a little bit. Yes, there was a coup d'etat in Chad, and our team mates, the McKenzies, were evacuated from the capital. After they came back to France our area leader came for a week to discuss the future with us. Once that was over I went back to school for a week and then took a french test. I'm happy to report I passed my test and I finished school with a B2. I know that means almost nothing to most people, sorry. The important thing is that it was my goal and I reached it.



If you'd like to learn more about what happened to the Mckenzies in Chad you should check out Steve and Kirsen's blogs.

Now what? well now we wait. Originally we planed to leave for Chad at the end of March, but we are still here and are not in the process of packing. Right now we are waiting to hear from our leadership to see if we can move into Chad. As that looks less and less likely we are wondering what the other options might be. Our apartment has been promised to another couple coming to learn French, and so we will be leaving here soon. We don't know where we are going however. It could be the States, it could be Cameroon and it could be Chad.

We've been in a lot of up in the air situations, but I've never been in a situation like this before. I know that any day we are going to move, and we don't know where too. This is very strange. But I have a great sence of peace about it. That could be because of all the times we've moved, and all the times we've moved with uncertainty. Its becoming more and more normal to me.
