January fun

Things that come as a surprise are often the ones we learn the most from.
These past two weeks I have really enjoyed myself because I have only had to work 7-10 hour days. And teach even less time then that.
Today, I went to a co-teachers house to "help" her fix her heat because I "knew" how to do it. Two Fridays ago my heat stopped working because the water pooled up or something and we needed to let it leak. My supervisor came and fixed it, showing me how, and so I was supposed to help this teacher fix hers. We got there and couldn't figure which bolt we were supposed to turn. We played around with a few, Then turned one and boy did water come out! Hahaha I had pulled a stopper off and the water was shooting out all over the place. The girl got her landlord and he managed to stop it after five minutes. I was standing on her floor dripping everywhere and we could not stop laughing! I don't think he really appreciated it, but he did show her how to do it. Needless to say, it was quite the experience!
Saturday I went to work then Met Jennell and a co-teacher. We went to a place called Dr. Fish! This is a cafe where you wash your feet then sit by a counter and put your feet in the water. There are doctorfish there that eat the dead skin off of your feet! I can't explain my reaction at all. Jennell as so cool and didn't even flinch. I had a little hyperventilating moment. Then me and my friend were punching each other so we had something else to think about. After a while we got used to it. Then we tried the next pool. In the first one it felt like tingles. But in the other one there was bigger fish. These ones you could feel the biting and teeth! Wow. I lasted three minutes (the longest) and went back to the other pool. My feet were quite soft after we done so I am sure we will go again. They have body pools of these things where you wear a bathing suit and go in whole body!
I'm really enjoying the new church I'm attending. The minister also teaches at a seminary and his sermons are based on the Bible, not using the Bible to support his sermon. I also attend a Bible study with English speakers that is quite good.
Every weekend I also play basketball, so I am glad to be able to start that up again, though the people I play with despair of me ever getting more than 2 shots a game in!
Another thing that I'm up to is reading "The Shack". Have you read it? I can't say to much in case you haven't. But it is quite the thought provoking book! I have once again understood God a bit better through it and sensed His presence more. It is amazing to see from this book how much God really does love us and how much we try to push Him out of our lives. It woke me up once again!
Well, I'm sure there are other things but I can't think of them right now. I will post pics soon.
God bless!
