Feb 28- and it's not a leap year

Umm...how is it the last day of February already?? I know it's the shortest month on our calendar, but this is ridiculous.


Anyway, here are some things that we did this month.


Celebrated the Chinese New Year at NOOC:

I helped make the dumplings. These are not my handiwork- they are way prettier than mine! 

Petted a lemur. (Some background is helpful: Wycliffe Hall hosted a big party and a friend of one of the ordinands works with lemurs. Easy enough. Still pretty wild when you walk into a building and see one of these guys, though):

Took a 4-week photography course:

Held our breath as the land started revealing signs of spring:

Visited St. Andrews Church in Leyland (in Lancashire) for some prep before the official OCCA/Wycliffe mission week in April:

Parts of it are 800 years-old!

Received some really beautiful Valentine's Day flowers:

Hosted an "American breakfast" at NOOC featuring pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, and...grits!

And enjoyed an amazing evening of home-made Norwegian food and time with the OCCA group thanks to this awesome girl:

Goodbye, February. You were short but sweet.
