Guess what? I have my own little home here! I have been here for a little over a week, and I love it!

Isn't it cute? Now that I have my place, I am becoming more independent. I walk to my American friends', Lee and Dori's, house each day. Yesterday I ventured out to the mall on my own. I was quite nervous, but I got some supplies for decorating my place and things to make cookies, so overall it was a success.
This morning I was reading in proverbs, and it made me think of my language learning in this season.
"Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich." Proverbs 10:4
Because I spend most of my time with Americans speaking English and I live on my own, I have to be especially diligent. I pray that God gives me the grace to continue to study and practice diligently. I have some sweet sisters here who are happy to practice with me and encourage me to speak and not be embarrassed. So, I am grateful.
Overall, I am encouraged. Things are going well. Thank you all for praying for me!

Yay!! Looks great, Mellie! I'm also in a stage where I'm realizing the importance of being diligent. I'll be praying for that!! <3
