Patience is a Virtue

We are learning everyday how to extend patience and grace to others. Dad teaches us this big lesson in small ways.

Here are some ways in daily life:
1) Forming lines and cutting in line does not matter. I can't count the number of times we've been cut in front of...
2) Hacking loogies and funny smells everywhere
3) The number of hours it takes to do a simple task- like paying for electricity
4) Asking others for directions. We don't get it. No one knows where anything is around here. Or are they just not willing to help? :/
5) Having to bargain for almost everything. We never know if we're getting a good price.

Through all of these things that would normally make us mad and annoyed, Dad has been teaching us to love others and their differences. We are learning to embrace the culture and forget our American way!
