Hello my friends from morning in Brazil.
I am asking for prayers, for myself and for my friends here. For myself because I am getting culture shocked, culture stressed, or whatever you want to call it. I really think that culture shock is a process that is worked through and I´m just in a icky phase of it now, but whatever. The problem is that I am very easily irritated these days. I´ve found myself being over sensitive and easily annoyed at my friends here, which has in turn prompted me to last out and snap at people. So I ask for prayers that God will chill me out. I also have some very stressful situations that are trying to get resolved, so without going into too much detail pray for those.
Secondly I ask for prayers for my friends here to have patience with me and try to understand where I´m coming from and what kind of stress I´m under, and to have an extra measure of mercy on me. They are wonderful, and I pray I don´t wear their patience thin.
Thank you my people. :)

Prayers indeed, Ann. Send me an email if you need anything - even just to vent! I love you!
Much love from Oklahoma City--you are, of course, always in my prayers.
You may need to disappear for a while and clear your head...maybe at a little park somewhere around the church building!!! Good times...

I am praying for you dear! I wish I was still there with you through all of this. beijos!
I'll definitely pray for you. Culture shock is hard (and it hasn't quite hit me here yet, but I'm sure it's coming) but, like you say, it's a phase to get though. I know you'll do great. I'd personally try to find someplace calm, lonely, and familiar and spend a few hours there with God. Blessings, my friend.
