Easter

 

I was so happy that I got to go to America and spend Easter with my family.   Just like every year my mom made Easter baskets for everyone.  I got chocolate and a movie.  I enjoyed American chocolate every day I was there. :)

 I hadn't seen my nieces for over a year and we had a great time playing together at the park.  I miss them but they know why I am here and support me all the way.

We played games, which is one of my family's favorite things to do.

Turkish Culture

 

Here I'm enjoying learning more of the ins and outs of Turkish culture.  This type of skirt and scarf is what young girls and housewives wear in the village and many still dress this way at home in the city.

Here are pictures of my new room.

Shortly after I moved in we went and bought a rolling nightstand, a bookshelf and a nice big closet for all my things.  It feel good to be settled in.

 

I often think of how Jesus didn't even have a pillow, let alone a whole closet full of clothes and books. I am very blessed and want to be thankful for everything He gives me everyday.
