Clark-istan

Clark-istan a nickname we came up with for the crazy square mile we live in!  Sometimes I find myself laughing because I feel like I'm not in America sometimes.  I'm sure there are people laughing at me too!  To communicate with the diverse people in Clarkston, I find myself speaking in shorter sentences, sometimes cutting off words and using bad English grammar.  Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get the point across!  Once you're here for while, the "Clark-istani" language sometimes seeps into conversations with English speakers.  Makes for good comedy at times!


Here's some more pictures of life here.  Please let me know if you have questions about life or would like to here more about certain aspects of life in Clarkston.  Love to hear how you are doing as well!

The American part of Clark-istan.  I'm so grateful for friends nearby that labor in the Lord  with me.  We have meals together sometimes and gain so much encouragement from our fellowship.

The sunset from the top of Stone Mountain.  This is a great place to go for exercise (1 mile hike to top) and quiet time.  This is our Mt of Olives when we need to get away.

The crew we took to Cici's as a reward for attending tutoring on Mondays and Wednesdays.  We had a great time hanging out and eating together. Five nations are represented in this picture (Burma, Iraq, Sudan, Liberia, US)

The latest addition to the team here in Kristopher Woods.  Ben follows Jesus and wants to make disciples.  He got here soon after I did in the summer.  Please keep praying for us and the people of Clarkston.
