The sun is shining!!!

Hey guys (and gals),
The sun is shinging, and it's a great thing. It's been raining sine I got here, and I was quite pleased when I woke up this monrning to the sunshine!
It's been a good week getting aquainted with things/people around here. (I made a fabulous greek pasta dish for thurday night singles dinner).

To make you all a little familiar with what exactly is going on around here:
I am living with Tim and Rebecca Hawkins. Their's is a Hospitality House (with Cadence International) Ministry happens here almost around the clock. Tonight (monday) there is a girls Bible Study, it is a small group...but then again girls are a smal percentage of the military! This will be my first with the girls study, and we'll begin the book of James. This is a study that I will lead for the summer. We also have dinner.
The Thursday night study is for singles...that's us young folks. Tim is going through Exodus. My main duties for this, include helping Rebecca prepare throughout the day, cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping. (We do most of our shopping on the base, but head into Mildenhall village for those british delicacies not found in the commisary).
Sunday night is a study for couples, most of them are young right now. Going through Hebrews, but starting a book called "True Faced" in a few weeks. My role w/ the couples is small. There is some food preparation, but each couple brings food too, so it's not as much as thursday.

For those that don't know summer time is PCS-season around here (Permanent Change of Station) We say good-bye to lots of poeple and get new ones inroduced to the group. I hope to help make new faces comfortable here, so they'll have a family and a home-away-from-home. And this is a great way to get out of the dorms (which are this terrible place of drinking and partying all the time, horribly depressing-- especially for a new airman).

For me personally...jet lag is taking it's toll! It's been hard so far to get on a schedule and it's been pretty frustrating. I'm usually one of those people who is asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, and resting all night long. It's not been so since I got here. I'm really hoping my body adjusts soon. Today I'm experimenting, all of my tea wil be decaf! :)

Thanks for all of the e-mails and comments. I love you guys!!

(I've already been scolded for not putting enough milk in my tea, by the way)

P.S. ok, so I can't cheat and change the date....so this post is dated saturday (which is when I started it) But I've actualy posted it on Monday 5 June :o)
