For my birthday I took the day off of language study. It was a much appreciated break. I ended the day by going out for a birthday dinner with new friends. I got so many pretty cards from pepole here and sent from home (shown in the last picture). It was a good relaxing but fun day. Thanks to all who sent birthday greeting! Enjoy the pics.

Although it was mostly lecture style we had quite a bit of group discussion and played a limeted number of games. One of the atfernoons we played the global village game (the kids got to join us for

Now I have been all oriented and conference out. The last two weeks have been good but I am definitely ready for a relaxing weekend off before I jump into more orientation, more new people to connect with, and more changes to adjust to next week.
