Singapore! Singapore! Singapore!

The picture above is my host family's house and my home for the next ten weeks. The mom, Audrey, and the dad, Mark, both work at the Singapore American School where I teach. They have two kids -- Daryn, their youngest daughter who is 11, and Kyle, their 13 year old son. The family loves to be active and sports are a part of their everyday routine. It is an interesting household in that no one gets home until five because of sports, and on the days that they don’t have sports, they are awake at seven in the morning to play basketball and shoot around outside. Every day is filled with a sport or with running.

They are a good family and are very well off! HA. The house is beautiful and has mostly marble walls and floors. There are five bedrooms and four bathrooms; I have my own bedroom and share a bathroom with Daryn. Having my own room is hard for me because I hate being alone. It's hard being in a place where my love languages aren't being met. Regardless, the house is very nice and it's quite convenient seeing at I live two minutes from the school. Another great advantage of living in this house is that it is only about seven minutes from the train station. This is a wonderful advantage because the train is the cheapest way to get around the island and the mostly widely used means of transportation. God has really blessed me with quality living arrangements.
I hope you enjoy the pictures and the update. I am truly blessed to live in this beautiful home and in this beautiful country. Addie, our maid, spoils me! I can count always having my clothes washed and ironed and I can count on having my meals cooked everyday, three times a day. It's such a blessing.

I believe that is all for now. I am thanking God for providing and trusting He is doing the same for you all. I love you all very much. Thank you for the prayers and love -- I need them both greatly while I am here.

Blessings,
Cynthia
