I'm settling into life here in Macau, am getting lost less often, and could name a few good places to eat with *amazing* food (though most of the menus are only in Cantonese so be prepared to smile, point, and enjoy whatever they end up bringing you). I start Cantonese lessons next week so that may bring more enlightenment to the process in the future. I've been busy with orientation meetings and moving into my new apartment which has been going well. Classes are just starting for the students here and I'm officially starting next week! Mainly it looks like I will be assisting with some public speaking activities, a writing clinic, a debate team (which looks really interesting), a Shakespeare festival (again-yay!), and working with some students who are from Xinjian in mainland China (which is basically as far away from Macau as possible while still remaining in China). This should keep me busy for sure but I'll have time to do my own things too, such as visiting the Oasis church nearby, playing my new guitar, planning random trips to nearby countries, and of course walking the streets of Macau till I get lost ;)
I love and miss you all! And I hope you are all doing fantastically :)
Love and prayers from across the world,
