Farewell, April

 How was your April? I'd love to hear - either reply or comment on this post. That month felt like it passed by quickly to me. Here's a picture walkthrough from my point of view.  

First up, sky pictures. 

Let me tell you -- this kid, Carter, is a whole mood. 😂He cracks me up almost every day. When he needs a break from walking home from the bus stop, he just randomly falls on a cable box......

or lays down on the sidewalk. 😅

This is him describing what his baby brother's heartbeat sounded like. 😄

Weekly online English class with my Chilean students continues. They're fun to teach and we have a lot of funny moments. 

The international night market happens monthly, and my bestie visited the weekend of. We met up with our dear friend and had the absolute best time.

Bestie and I also went to Hot Pot one night. 

Hot Pot is like a buffet but better because you can cook your own food. 

These geese and ducks are always around on my walks. 

My friend and I had a sleepover together one night. We made this delicious ramen noodle dish - only 3 ingredients: ramen noodles, cabbage, and bacon (with the noodle seasonings) - and Korean pancakes. Then we really enjoyed a fun time eating while watching a Chinese drama with my bestie (who's also my friend's friend) online. Friends make life 10x sweeter and I'm beyond grateful for the ones God has brought into my life. 

My friend and I celebrated Easter together by going to a ramen restaurant after church and had the best time. We tried Chashu Buns. Oh my, they are so delicious and the perfect size. 

They also make many types of ramen. 😋(And they have THE BEST mango slushy. No joke. 😀)

And that's the end! There's much more that happened not pictured, like lots of growing, laughing, grieving, hours of playing ping pong, meeting many new people, visiting a new church (that's my 10th one since moving to this area), interviews, watching God provide for me day by day, seeing God close doors and open others, and learning to trust more and more in the one who only does right. 

Isaiah 41:13

For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
