Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July! I can't believe I have been here in Cali for ONE month already! CRAZY! Time flies by SO fast! Today the kids don't have school so I get the whole day off! It's SO very nice to get the day off and relax (and probably work on some lesson plans :p)
This morning I woke and thought about just how blessed I am to be here in the United States. I live in a country where I can freely express who I am and share the love of Christ freely to others. My parents risked their lives to escape a communist country and find freedom. I can't imagine where I would be right now if I were to grow up in Laos. I can't imagine who I would be, but I can just be thankful for where I am right now. I am thankful to have this opportunity to have a great education, and be able to speak freely of my faith with others. It is a blessing to be here to teach education to these children and continually serve God! Praise God for He is SO good to us!
Anyways here are some silly pics for you! The kids are doing biking camp and I saw this bike and absolutely had to ride it! :p
