Disaster Strikes!

Dear Loyal Blog Readers (better known as close friends and family),

Bad news. My laptop died. I guess we had to figure that something would go very wrong in our first couple weeks and this was a big one. Georgia had a great point though, at least WE are still in tact.

To paraphrase de Botton paraphrasing Seneca: possesions can only be taken me, they cannot be torn away.

Georgia and I have been separated into different teaching/observing schedules as of late, which is new as we were attached at the hip until then. The teaching is going better now that the kids are beginning to recognize and feel more comfortable with us. I am going to start teaching adult classes on Tuesday by myself at a local glass factory, which is a little bit nerve-wracking.

Georgia has a little longer to wait before she begins teaching because the teacher she is replacing is here until mid-August. I'm not exactly sure what our plan will be, but I think we will teach as many classes together as we can until we are both working a full schedule.

Today we are planning on going to a temple near our apartment to look around and take some pictures, then we are heading back to the department store to pick up some more cooking supplies. Cooking for ourselves has been a big adjustment and the refridgerators are much smaller here so it seems like we're always running out of food.

Anyways I hope you're all doing great and we'll keep updating the blog when we get opportunities to use a computer.

Take care,
Jim and Georgia
