I really am here!

I haven't been able to write another post because it's been blocked by the internet until now! Technical difficulties :) I'm here! I really did make it! Sometimes I feel a little foggy; I don't think I've quite conquered jet lag... It's Thursday morning for me, and Wednesday afternoon it seems for the rest of the world. The last few days I've been settling in, and have met Dr. Watson, who's been showing me around. We've almost developed a schedule, and I'll be helping Pastor Joe doing secretarial work on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons; while helping out in the nurses' station Monday and Friday afternoons. Last night, I helped Des Bendo (my roommate last year) with the K5 in Sparks! :) After helping, I ran to my amazing apartment (pictures of which I couldn't help plastering all over facebook) and wrote my 2 page paper that was due yesterday! (Possibly today for you) :) There is so much schoolwork involved in 12 credits, and its so difficult not having everything I need right at my fingertips. I'm learning so much about communication; emailing millions of people overseas, trying to cover my bases. (I might have exaggerated... a little but not much) :) God is teaching me so much though! About actually trusting Him; truly believing that He is in control and I am not. Even what I had to write my paper on was a challenge to me; it was about Anger. I had to read a packet of articles about it, and then wrote a response. Anger is seeing things that are really lies as truth, and reacting in a way that makes me the "God" in control instead of letting the Lord really be Master. I need to step back and let God reign! I am to love others more than myself, and help people in all of the ways God has provided. Right now, He has placed me in Guam to help out an amazing ministry that I can't wait to learn more about. I am to work as hard as I can on my schoolwork, and pray that God's will be done in passing my classes. I do not want to miss the lessons He has for me! I miss family and my friends and my boyfriend SO MUCH, but am so thankful for this opportunity to serve <3
