Dear family and friends,
Pwapwan Kristmas! Merry Christmas in Chuukese!!! Things are going well in Chuuk. The first semester is almost over…well, it is over, but I have a lot of grading left to do which is no fun!!! There have been some really great parts of Christmas here, such as a wonderful Christmas play with plenty of Christmas carols, time to relax, and a staff Christmas party at Truk Stop Hotel (one of the hotels Mom and Dad will probably stay at while visiting). I do feel at home here in the way that I could easily be fine here for a while if I could come home for holidays…it’s just become home as SLU did, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Freeburg. I guess I have many homes all around the world now, yet during Christmas, the one I want to be at is in Freeburg with family. Don’t get me wrong, in two years, I will appreciate Christmas so much more and love being with family even more than I did in the past. I probably even miss Christmas in Chuuk!!! Lol. I find it funny how wherever one is, they want to be in another place. This is something I realize, yet struggle to change.
Regardless, Christmas has had some of the great things here that there are at home, like carols, greetings, togetherness, and all that.
Wow, I have so much to say that if I said it all this would be all over the place…Lets stick with Christmas. So, this week we’re having a Christmas party for some of the volunteers with a potluck dinner and such, and then we’re probably going to go to Xavier for Christmas Eve and Day. Xavier is kinda like our extended family. We love them and see them sometimes, spend holidays with them…lol.
Ok, well, I don’t think this is my best post ever, but someone else wants to use the computer, so I’m just going to end, knowing this is unedited babble. Miss you and love you all!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Chuuk!
