May the Lord keep giving you strenght for the everyday tasks in a developing country! In Brazil the Stats Wraps are still getting better... I was already faced with a Stat Wrap just like yours. I love you, God bless you!

Really, ...What a great account of your adventures! Really, really glad you discovered that gas leak before it made you any sicker. I'm incredibly impressed that you even tried pizza on the stove top. Sometimes it seems like the smallest things can be the ones that cause the most irritation, like a rock in the shoe, or Saran Wrap that isn't. You are doing a great job of keeping in mind the lessons we learned at training. I'm so very proud of you and am hoping we can learn from your experience as we adjust once we get to Bangladesh :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128303465654912305.post-63161840677338575422014-05-20T20:26:08.261-04:002014-05-20T20:26:08.261-04:00Thanks for sharing Shannon!

I laughed all the way through remembering my own experiences. :) I can completely sympathize with all of your twangs. I experienced several twangs myself on this trip to India. Praying for you friend as you continue to go to language school, learn the culture and make friends. <br /><br />Oh, and I learned that Spanish gets me no-where in India. The poor cook must have thought I was crazy when I kept rattling off to her in Spanish the first week. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00775444633879632257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128303465654912305.post-59227403546632908972014-05-19T13:21:30.476-04:002014-05-19T13:21:30.476-04:00Thanks so much for sharing these stories--I laughe...Thanks so much for sharing these stories--I laughed with you and cried for you as I read. I continue to be amazed at just how strong you are, and know God is carrying you through all of these Twangy times! I remember the quasi Saran Wrap from my trips to England--horrid stuff which isn't at all like ours at home. Would the old fashioned, but still well used, plastic covers with elastic around the edges? Would they work and. if so, can I send you some in an envelope? I am so glad you got the gas leak fixed--nasty, nasty, experience. Also glad you are able to know good (?) from bad bugs around your new home. I recall living overseas and having to learn all of this too. Shannon, keep doing what God has called you to do--you are protected and your Twangy elastic will get less Twangy and your language skills will grow in leaps and bounds. Blessings and love to you friend.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09812166447842834741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128303465654912305.post-75352947598621270072014-05-19T13:10:11.983-04:002014-05-19T13:10:11.983-04:00Ah....the tings we take for granted.
