Thank You

Thank you to all who have contributed making this mission possible. Without the support of my family, my Zion family, my Sugar Creek family, and all of my friends this would have been possible. I THANK YOU all and raise my coffee cup to you each day!

Who I Am

My photo
Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
I am currently serving in Malaysia through the Young Adults in Global Missions program with the ELCA. My job consists of three parts: 1) Working at Cheshire home with mentally and/or physically disabled persons. 2) Working at Care Haven (an orphanage) teaching English and math to four of the children. 3) Each Sunday I have the privilege of working with the 2nd KK Girls Brigade unit in the afternoon.

It is a little crazy being back in the states and the things I notice as being different. Here are just a few of the things that struck me as different since I have been back.
- Public Bathrooms are free and provide toilet paper
- the light-switch to the bathroom is inside the room
- driving on the other-side of the road
- cheese or milk is a part of almost every meal
- the sun is still out past 7 pm
- noodles is not something usually eaten for breakfast
- everything just seems bigger (people, food, buildings, etc)
- there aren't buckets in the bathrooms to flush the toilets
- there is only one language being spoken
- you can order coffee black without anyone giving a strange look

More to come later. It is good to be back but also very odd. I miss my family and friends back in Malaysia and am also having fun seeing old ones once more. Right now many things seem overwhelming. They are familiar yet they are strange at the same time.
