. I’m so lucky and extremely thankful.

My happiest moment was definitely when I had my first dream in french! I’m so happy my language skills are progressing! The hardest was just before when I was getting really frustrated with my language ability but things are looking up!

Hanging out with my friends in the city while the weather was amazingly warm, we had a picnic with Thai food in front of the capital building. I was with friends from Argentina, Chile, Peru, America, and Belgium! It’s been so great to get to know all these people I now consider family and make meaningful connections.

My natural parents are probably a little offended that I never want to come home but everything is going really great. Each month just keeps getting better!
