P.S. (she doesn't like her real name) is one of my best friends here. I've been hanging out with her since my fourth day in-country, not just because she knows English better than I do. Erin and I talk to her as much as we can about the more important things in life, and lift her up every day. Last week, we gave her a present, a book, with a list of things inside she might want to check out. She's already checked out some of them, and one day last week we (Erin, me, her, another friend) had a pretty lengthy discussion about the standards within that book, and how they can't be reached with our own means. She'd heard it before, but I know I had to hear that fact about one thousand times before it sunk in.
