Maldives




I'm in the Maldives, these amazing islands off the coast of India. I've never seen islands like these ... most of them are about 2-3 feet under the ocean. Just a few are above the ocean and those are where the trees and people are.

To the right are Bobby and Angie Cox and their kids: Braden and Kyndal. Below are David and Piper Post (newlyweds).




I came to the Maldives to teach Bobby and Angie Cox as well as Piper Post how to be English teachers. They are starting an English school next month on Hulhamale ... an island right next to the airport island if you're google mapping. I stayed there for a week and a half putting them through a rigorous course. They were troopers! If you'd like to see where I was staying, where they stay, and where I taught, you can check out a little video I made (my first ever) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CmSw6lIsYo.






When the course was over, they sent me to a resort for 2 days, which is where I am now. Amazing!!! The island is so small I can walk all away around it in 20 minutes. The sand is white, the water blue, the food is delicious, and my room is incredible. It's actually a two story suite with the entire bathroom OUTDOORS! It's a little wild to do all that bathrooming stuff outside, but I always like new adventures!






After this, I'm off to Dubai to teach some teachers there as well. I am so thankful for the opportunities God gives me to live an incredible life!!!
