Things Learned

So it crossed my mind that a few new tricks have been added to my repertoire since moving here. If you are interested in learning any of them for yourself, just ask. Otherwise, enjoy this random listing:

• In order to have a warm shower the entire time, turn the water off while lathering and don't set the water for good pressure until the very end. Also, having a small heater in the tile room is a plus. When you put socks on first, you can stand by the heater to warm up without getting your feet dirty.
• Brown sugar can be made at home by mixing sugar and molasses. Wow.
• Calling the States is only 5 cents/min. Really nice.
• Radiators double as dryers for clothes.
• It is physically possible to live out of a fridge the size of one you might find in a college dorm room, minus the functioning freezer.
• Anyplace can feel like home quickly when it's the place you know you've been led to from on high.
• When eating at someone's house here, never ever clean your plate. Otherwise, they feel like they didn't give you enough and bring on more.
• It is easy to pray with and for people here. Fabulousness.
• Garbage disposals are best if alive...like sheep, for example.
• Washing dishes is a great 2 person job (thanks Matt!).
