still here...

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to briefly update you all... Letting you know that I am still in the States! I've been a little hidden in some ways, because I don't have a cell phone, I've been working with my dad, for UCBC and on my sister's wedding... So when I have time to make a phone call - I've just been falling asleep!

But not to worry - my mom, and my family are all taking good care of me. I've been cared for and treated like a daughter, and not a mother. Which is always fun!

I love being here with my family, and reconnecting with friends as well. But it's had a few challenging times as well. Adjusting to the culture, lifestyle and expectations of people here in the US isn't quite as easy as it was for me to adjust to life in the Congo. But I praise God for his grace and the understanding of people around me as I am in this transition period!

I will write again soon, I hope! Please continue to pray for Beni and UCBC - the students will have their second week of exams starting tomorrow morning! Thank you!

with love,
Bethany
