august 14. zumba instructor training. in nashville. done and done. who's with me?

i've applied to over 30 positions in the greater nashville area... be praying for favor with me!

also, pray for favor for this next weekend: anne-ruth, amalia and i are trying to plan a trip to the dominican, more specifically to monte cristi, a town on the northern coast-- about 30 miles from the haitian border. pray for guidance and favor with how to get there... ! i would be going to visit jodi, a fabulous woman whom i've met through a friend, who has been teaching this semester in the DR! we have yet to connect and we've been trying to get across to each other's sides of the island for some time now, and this will be her last weekend in the DR! i'm so excited at the possibility of going, but doing anything in Haiti (i've learned) takes lots of time and patience. and usually a few extra days. so pray with us that it falls together! :)

also, in random news, it happened today. you know, that moment when you realize you have totally said something in another language, but you don't even realize that it was in another language. when it came so natural, you didn't even have to consider it. pas neccessaire. that simple, small phrase (one i've never even used) totally escaped my lips today at deli-mart to the man bagging my groceries. i was silently elated once i realized what had happened. little victories :)

il est minuit, et je me vais revieller a six heure exactement pour cuisiner pour tout le monde ici!

bonne nuit!
