Still Small Voice

If I don't keep myself really busy I get very lonesome...it's not that I wish I were home, but that you were with me. I like that I am here. I just wish I had loved ones to share it with.

So far teaching is going well. Some classes are better then others of course. I will be glad to move on to the next week. Since I have to repeat the same routine over and over it becomes very monotonous for me, and I strive to maintain the same level of enthusiasm for each class as if they were the first to receive the lesson... its a struggle.

It's hard to think that things there are beginning to cool down and you are preparing for winter... here every day is like sweat city. AT LEAST 80 every day.

 

I have a mosquito chasing me every night and I wake up with all kinds of bites on me.

There was some excitement last night as my neighbor, Nigel from the UK, discovered a couple rats in his apartment. He is deathly afraid of them, so he and Arthur went on a hunt to kill them, but they disappeared. We have each been given packets of rat poison since.

 

Tonight the four of us walked around a bit after having a nice meal costing the equivalent of about one dollar each. We like to go to Gua Mao, the super store; and to the Walking Street... which is just that...no cars allowed, and many people go there to shop. About every other store is a shoe store. Tonight there were many groups of elderly people doing Tai Chi. It was interesting to watch.  

I bought some bleach to clean with. My refrigerator has an awful smell to it, so for the past two days I have been trying to air it out and clean it many times to get rid of the smell... hopefully the bleach will help.

 

Please remember me as it is easy to forget who I am.... who I REALLY am. This place can make you easily forget such things, since there is nothing here to encourage me in the Way except for the things I have brought myself, and the still small voice. Please lift me up so that I do not become deaf to it.
