Helping the kids learn the basics

​About one week after I accepted, I had the privilege to talk with the executive director, Robyn, of the Bangla Hope orphanage. We talked for nearly two hours from the geographics of the country itself to the detailed information about the orphanage. The first thing Robyn asked me was if I played any types of instruments. I was cautious to say that I played the piano. Growing up my parents really wanted my brother and I to pick up some kind of instrument; whether that be piano, guitar, violin, flute, trumpet, you name it, ANYTHING. I started playing piano at a very young age but didn’t really get into it until I was about 12 years old. I have never been really good at reading notes and disliked practicing, meaning that I really wasn’t the best student nor performer, nevertheless, I stayed with it, hoping I would one day become a Bachess, magically. Well, that never happened. To this day, I enjoy learning different songs with chords, but nothing more. After that Robyn asked me if I would help teach the kids.  I said I would have to get back to him, all my years of neglecting practices made me unsure of my abilities. After a few days of considerable thought, I said yes. I will be helping the kids learn the basics of how to play piano, which I can do.

Doors have been unlocked

I can’t believe it has already been a month since I decided to go out as a student missionary (SM) to Bangladesh for this next school year. Since I said yes to the calling God has placed on my heart, I have done a ton of paperwork, feeling as though I am signing my life away. I am the only SM that is going from Walla Walla University (WWU). Originally, I wasn't going to be able to go due to me being the only one from my school, but there are two other SM’s from Southern Adventist University that are going too, and once again the doors have been unlocked. ​

Sharing my life

It’s odd that I am starting this blog of sharing my life, I have tried lots of times to keep one of those journals, but once I do a single entry I stop; either I “have” to write detailed sections of everything I did in that day or not at all. Plus I am the worst at grammar and even worse at spelling, I couldn’t even spell my name for the longest time. Yet, I know that this experience I am about to embark on I will want to have a collection of writings to remember these times when my memory is fading away. My dad is sitting next to me working on the page itself, bless his heart, and said, “you just need to start now.” So, I’m starting, I don’t have the most amazing words, funny, creative, or captivating ways of making people want to sit and read for hours, but it’s me and that's okay. I can’t promise that I will post once or even bi-weekly, but I will try my best to give you new and updated content. So here goes….
