We made it!! All is well, everyone but two other girls at the same training got their visas and arrived here yesterday. The logistics team here in the city has been great, welcoming, and extremely helpful in our training. We are learning about culture and a little language. Yesterday (Oct 4) after lunch we went in groups to go shopping! We will be traveling to another city tomorrow and needed some local clothing. I have two words for the experience: SO COLORFUL! It was crazy seeing how many people were out an about...I guess that's what happens when millions of people are crammed in a city.
Last night we celebrated one of the guy's birthdays and ate at a kabob place. I am liking the food, but it's still a little spicy to eat a lot of, so when we went to bakery for some cake afterwards I was all over some bread! The fellowship has been awesome, everyone is so great and it's crazy being here with Christin too!
It has only been a day and half, but I feel like we have seen so much already. Even the airport was a good preview of the kinds of things I will see that will become my new normal. It's pretty surreal. I don't have pictures yet, but I will share some soon.
