Shagala Bagala

If ever there was a phrase to describe my life, this is it. It is in swahili and means everything is crazy and scattered. I think that I thought that the craziness would stay in America when I came here, little did I know that it would follow me across the ocean. I envy those of you that live your lives in a permanent state of peace and calm. =)

But I digress, the real reason for this post is to update you on swahili and ask for your prayers. My language is coming along well, sometimes not as fast I would like. At times I feel like I have learned so much, at others I feel frustrated that I am not able to converse with ease.

So,.... this is my prayer: I am praying that I would be able to converse with ease by Christmas. I know many of you have already been praying for me. ASANTE SANA (THANK YOU) na endelea tafadhali! (and please continue)

Love you all!
