You might be wondering, What is it like being in a foreign country? It is all a paradox. It can be hard, but at the same time it's an awesome experience. I will not forget that day we left, everyone was sad. But at the same time I was happy to be a MK. Happy that I get to do things that not a lot of kids get to do. How many kids can say
" I'm a MK" ? We do miss our family in "The States", but it helps to have family visit. (which mine has done)
Another hard thing is the weather. Right now it is 88 degrees. Not bad? Wrong 88 is not bad but add a ton of humidity, and it feels miserable. But the good thing is we are close to the ocean. So every once in a while we go to beach:)
So how does ministry fit in? We (my family) are at the Caribbean Christian Center for the Deaf aka CCCD. Here we teach the deaf sign language and many other things. School will be starting next Monday, the 12th of Sept.
Some people ask " Do you like it here?" Well, its another paradox. I do miss my family and friends but some, well a lot of my friends are deaf here. Yes I do know a LOT of sign language. Even some of my friends are the same age as me.
Thanks be to God for this wonderful place
