My new home.

Almost a month I have been in Laos and it has gone by fast!
I thought I would inform you all of where I am living here is my house:
I live in Ban Chommany Neua ( Village Chommany North)

To the right is where we wash the dishes.

This is my room and my mosquito net in the corner! 

This is my bathroom the two buckets on the side are for flushing the toilet and the shower bucket!

It has been so nice getting settled with Patti. When I heard I was living with a single women I thought she would be older and stay home but Patti is the most extroverted person I know. Almost every night we have gone out and went to birthday parties and to the MeKong night market she has been so wonderful to get to know. Things to love about Patti:
- She is so funny and can make you laugh at anything
- She dances when she hears music
- She sings when she is in the shower or driving
- She has a strong gift of prayer
- She is very giving
- She is very hospitable
- She care and worries for people
- She is a very good cook
- She follows after Jesus wholeheartedly
- She is flexible
- She is strong
I have been learning a lot from Patti and have been loving living with her and thankful for all she does. It feels like I am part of the family and gives me an incentive to learn Lao quickly so I can talk to the rest of her family because Patti speaks English very well. Many cousins and nieces are always around the house and live next store and they as well have been teaching me Lao. I hope that gives you a little insight on where I am living and my host sister as well.
