Briana is gone

She actually left on Saturday. I haven't been able to write about it until now. This time was much more difficult than the first. Not only is she going to be gone longer but we now know what it is like. She left in September with 200 lbs of luggage and a computer with skype ready to keep in touch. There was wireless available for only a few pesos a week. What we didn't know was how often it would be nonfunctional. We didn't know they would change how it was handled, going from an all user system to first come first serve, only allowing 15 people on at a time. There were those that found where the router was and would disconnect it dropping everyone online so they could hook up. I bought a phone card and sent the information via email, she couldn't get the information and didn't call. I sent all the information back with her, or so I thought, the pin number was not on it. She did call using someone else's phone to tell me this. She is having a difficult time. Things are quite unorganized. She doesn't have a room yet. She doesn't have a work assignment. She doesn't know what is going on yet. She is short on sleep. All in all, she is having a rough start consequently so am I. Let's keep her in our prayers that she will be comforted.
