A typical day . . .
8:00 AM (or 8:40 AM) – I burst out of my mummy bag to the chilling air. Scrub my armpits with baby wipes and apply deodorant.
9:00 AM – Breakfast. Instant Nescafe is my new SBUX.
9:30 AM – Worship and Prayer.
10:30 AM – Typicall, I do some sort of work on the farm. Sometimes, house visits are in order. Most recently, I have been preparing for the anti-trafficking event.
2:00 PM – Lunch. Soup with fatty, yet somehow delectable meat everyday. I scarf it down quickly so I can squeeze in a nap.
3:00 PM – Back to my morning ministry site.
4:45 PM – Prayer walk and anti-trafficking preparation with a few others.
7:00 PM – Dinner. Butter beans or goat cheese macaroni.
7:30 PM – Feedback
9:00 PM – Back to the mummy for some tunage, journaling, and reading.
10:00 – 1:00 AM – Bed.
Other things, if you’re interested . . .
I eat weenies for breakfast quite often.
Women should not sit on cement…it will make you “infertile.” I haven’t tried it yet, but some of my teammates have been scolded.
You could probably wring out my hair, measure out some oil, and bake a cake. …I haven’t showered for seven days.
I’ve worn the shirt that is currently on my body about 19 times without washing it.
The door handle in my room is a rather creepy, lion-like figure. Someone has named it Aslan, therefore its creepy factor has decreased.

I’ve tilled a lot of land…


I am perfecting my squat for using the potty. My team and I seriously had a conversation the other night in which everyone shared his or her best tactics. Is this real life?!
There is this hill that all of us love to hike. If you go at the right time before sunset, the town looks stunning in the distance.

Repping M-Town on the hill
Stunning is my new favorite word. I need to work on verbalizing it more often.
The flies are vicious and speedy here.
I eat between four and nine pieces of bread everyday.
Far too many instances of having to drip-dry has compelled me to carry toilet paper everywhere I go.
Real grape juice is so great.

Moldova looks like an extended version of Lancaster, PA right now. I am blessed to still be able to experience fall.
