deedee! deedee!

Namaste!
a lot of great things have happened today! i'm tired and i need to get out of the Malakars' house, but i don't want to forget, so i'll go ahead and write.
This morning at 7:30 AM was the first kid's camp. it's basically slumdog VBS, and guess who got appointed photographerrrrr? ha. i love this internship. [[photos of big-eyed, tiny-boned, dark-skinned, 7 year old babies to come]] the kids call us either auntie or deedee (older sister). it's fun to have just come into a country-full of family.
I'm getting better acquainted with the Liberty team, they have a great group of people here. Three girls i'm closer to are Sarah, Courtney, and Sydney. i've loved spending time with them, it's been such a blessing and a refreshment just to sit and chat and encourage one another.
guess what... after three days of anticipation, i FINALLY moved into my house today! it's completely unfurnished, but i'm really excited about being there. it has a beautiful balcony where i hope to do my reading [pictures also to come]. it's nice to move from a life of darting across the four-lane highway to a life of climbing three flights of stairs. it may be just as vigorous, but frogger was just so elementary school. now, the 60-pound bag and the three flights of stairs was an adventure, but don't worry! i did it -- all on my own!
Today Heather told me that they're so thankful for me here. it meant a lot to hear her say that, and she's actually trying to get me to lengthen my stay! if i have the funds, and after i pray about it, it will be considered.
Also, Joy rolled over for the first time today!! 4-month old babies are the COOLEST.
lastly, i just had dinner with the Malakars, Raj -the PMI administrator, Kagui - a singer at their church, and Josh Hamm - the 1-year short termer who arrived tonight. we're now sitting around with the kids drinking coffee and eating reeses, and talking about when we'll play settlers.
i'm completely content: what a great day.
