Lost

There are so many things that I find myelf wanting to write about, but sometimes I find it hard to sit down and remember what it is that I want to say! It's like my thoughts end up being lost in my own head!

Like the fact that it's finally spring here. Everything is finally growing. The grass is a rich green and the trees have leaves on them again. The flowers are budding and everything is so incredibly beautiful. One of my favorite things to do is to be outside. Whether I'm taking a walk or playing Frisbee or football (soccer). All I want to do is be outside! Many people have a favorite season, whether it's spring, summer, fall or winter, but for me I love them all. I love the heat of summer, the beautiful colors of the trees in the fall, the snow and cold of winter, and then all the new life in the spring. It makes me smile just to think about it.

Then there's the fact that I sprained my thumb last week and couldn't play frisbee for a few days. So what did I do instead? I went to the park and got in on a game of pick up soccer. The guys that play at the park all speak Spanish, so I have no idea what it is they are saying, which is okay with me. There are always games of soccer going on in the afternoon/evenings at Wing Park that involve dozens of people just playing for the fun of it. It's pretty awesome really. And they're nice enough to humor me by letting me play. I have realized though that the muscles you use playing frisbee and the muscles you use playing soccer are VERY different. I could barely move last week I was so sore! But it doesn't stop me from going back.

Of course there are always more stories to tell from my time in Nigeria. And those will come. I have to tell of the woman I danced with at a fellowship dinner with the Garkida EYN #2 congregation. And the dog-like female turkey and the crazy male turkey who was, well crazy. And the fact that all I wanted to eat when I returned to the states was fruit and hard boiled eggs. I could go on and on. Not to worry, I will elaborate more soon!

I have so many thoughts in my head that it's hard to get it all down. But I am working on it.
