Welllllll, my first day was pretty alright. There's only one other girl here who's with my school. Her name is Elizabeth, and she's from Denmark! It was really interesting to hang out with her yesterday. I'm learning a lot about her country and her culture, and it's sooo different from here in America! I'm going to visit her, and she's going to come visit Portland(: I also met a bunch of aliens! They're from the planet Canada (; They're here doing a three month intensive study of the Bible, but they're done in a week or two. Four more kids from our group are arriving today. There are only going to be ten of us student total this term, which is really nice(: OH! Also, I learned that training and outreach are both happening within this four month period, which means I need to raise another three thousand dollars. So... Help? Money, ideas, anything! Lots an lots of prayers, please please please! We have until tomorrow basically to ourselves because we got here early, which has been really nice. I'm getting acquainted with the situation here. My leaders, Johnny and Nina, are super cool. I'll tell y'all more when I can!
