Hi friends,
I miss you all very much! It's only been two days. The reality of this program didn't hit me until I got to the building. My home sickenss for you guys has been next to unbearable. I'm crying constantly missing you all.

This place is extremely structured. I had my first group and individual counseling today. In group we are reading/watching videos about the book Safe People by Henry Cloud and John Townsend. It is not at all what I expected. I really encourage the gso saints to check it out It's perfect for the type of relationship stuff you are trying to work on.

The facility is nice...really nice. It looks like a hotel inside! My roommate is cool She has a child like corny personality like me so it works out well. The girls are nice. There is not really a way for drama to happen because they designate everything. No borrowing stuff. Assigned shower times. Assigned shower stalls and bathroom stalls. Name tags on everything.

We went to the YMCA today and worked out. We go to the mall Friday and help at a community function Saturday. "Love the neighborhood." We will be handing out water bottles.


My greatest struggle is my home sickness.  I try to remember and remind myself God wants me here. I've already talked myself out of leaving a few times and it's only been 2 days. There is one girl here from NC and she can talk basketball ALMOST as god as me. We had worship this morning...SO GOOD. I have a hard time showing weakness in front of others so I am taking advantage of crying during services.

Sorry if this letter seems spastic. I've been writing in between classes and stuff. They keep us very busy. Today has been a lot  better about the homesickness. I had to make the decision to not let it effect me. I don't want to let anything distract me from this program. It was crazy how quick I got over something the second I let God have control. It feels really good.

I miss you guys,
Anna
