This week Palau celebrated its 21st birthday!
Palau was established on October 1, 1994. Thursday we had
the day off from school to celebrate. In honor of this wonderful holiday, I
thought I’d post some things I love about living in Palau. J
Let’s get the obvious out of the way—Palau is
beautiful.
The water is the bluest I’ve ever seen in
my life, the sunsets are the most vivid, and the stars….believe me-- you’ve
never seen this many. And if that wasn’t enough, God formed these crazy
mushroom-shaped Rock Islands that would end up being one of my favorite places
in the world. I’m so glad He did.
Simple Living
I hate slow internet, but I LOVE not being
bombarded by media. I love not feeling like I’m not keeping up with certain
trends or like a couch potato. (I can MARATHON my favorite TV shows all day
long…don’t get me started) Life is so much simpler in Palau. I’ve been able to
realize what I actually NEED in order to be happy. I need LESS! Watch an
episode of Veggie Tale’s, Madam Blueberry and see what got her so blue. Less is
more. J
Community
There are many people who have touched my life
while living here and I greatly appreciate them all. When you live in a foreign
country, every smile, hug, and kind gesture counts. Palauans will give love
like none other.
My job
Teaching is something I know God called has
me to do and being in paradise while doing it is even more rewarding. The
students here are always so excited to meet their new teachers and shower them
with so much love. The SDA School here is wonderful and I couldn’t ask for a
more special place to work than Palau.
Too Much Fun
Last but not least, Palau is too much fun. As
I’m sure you can tell from my pictures. The beauty and adventures are endless
and the company is always God-sent.
