I don't know how much experience you have with bikes, but sometimes life is a lot like switching gears. Sometimes the transition is smooth, sometimes it takes a few pedels to get the chain to fall into the right place. This has been my time in AMS. When we first got here, I had to change gears. It was raining and cold. Nothing is ever fun in the cold rain. Especially when you're a South Texas girl who is only used to temperatures in the 50s in the winter time, NOT late May. But after a few days, the gear fell into place and everything started flowing smoothly.
Another rough switch was the hostel we are staying in. At first we weren't sure about it, and were a little disappointed actually. But after we started meeting the staff and getting a better feel for the place, the gear fell into place. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. We have gotten to meet really cool people and have some great conversations. It's been fun to be here for a few weeks and watch people come and go and really get to know the staff.
The switch that had the biggest potential to be rough was the arrival of the JSIs. Fortunately, it has been the smoothest transition of all. We have 4 college age students, two guys and two girls. They are an awesome bunch. As an answer to pr, they hit the ground ready to run. They have been champs. We have had a lot of fun with them and have watched them do some good work. The next two days will be a free day and a rest day. I don't think any of us could be more excited. It will be nice to rest, cut loose a little, and actually do some touristy things.
Praises: It's been absolutely gorgeous for the past two days. We're talking two of the prettiest days I think I have ever lived in. So pr that we have mostly just days like that for the rest of our time here.
Pr requests: I have felt a little under the weather the past week or so. So please pr that I'm all better by the time the one week students get here. Please pr for the 7 of us as we prepare for them. Pr we would have fun and restful break days and get everything done that we need to. They will be arriving next Wednesday.
Thanks for being awesome! Love y'all!
