Oh How I love Palau!
Oh how I love Palau. Life here is so simple. I love not having to worry about getting anywhere at a fast pace or committing to things I don't want to do. I love the freedom that I have to be a follower of God and to show others the passion I have for serving Him. I love that I am humbled more and more each day through the students that I teach, the experiences I have, and through the other SM's that have quickly become my new family. I love the challenges that I face because that helps me know that I am learning how to have patience and strength in a higher power than myself. I love teaching my third graders. They bring a smile to my face everyday. Even when I am tired and having a bad day they recognize this and try everything in their power to make me feel better. I love the scenery and the beauty of the 300+ Palauan islands. They are so gorgeous and I often feel as though I am living in a postcard. I love that I am growing more and more each day in the direction of Salvation. I love my Lord and Savior for putting me in this place and for showing me that there is more to life than busyness and pleasing people. I am here to serve, and that is just what I'll do. :-D

Ashley, its so good to hear that you're having such a wonderful experience. I was out in Saipan last year and actually got the chance to visit Palau, and it truly is amazing! Enjoy each moment to the fullest, cuz before you know it, you'll be back here missing your beautiful island! Praying for you! Let me know if you need anything!
Oh how I miss you....but oh how I'm glad you love Palau. You are such an inspiration to me! I wish I could be there for a brief time to experience some of the beauty with my beautiful daughter. You are so loved!
