Being Here!

We have been here for 3 weeks now and I have to praise God for us being here.  We feel an awesome peace about being here, like God has been preparing us for our new home.  All of us are settling in really well.  Nicky goes to work at 7am and comes home for lunch.  The kids and I are getting back into our routines of school and chores.  The adjustment to the heat isn't as bad as I thought it would be,  we have been blessed with mid to upper 80's the last few days.

Please pray for the kids as they are passing some kind of cold/cough/fever back and forth (Ellie one day then Xander the next).  This has been going on for a little over a week.

We have been painting the last few days hoping to get it done before our container gets here.  We hear that it has made it to St. Marc, (although the company we shipped it through can't say if it is here or not), so now the waiting really begins to see how long it will take to get out of customs.  We have given all to the Lord, because he could have it out tomorrow of it is his will.  The other missionaries here had our home all set up so we could move in.  It has been great being "HOME".



Bathroom before....

and after ( this actually a pale sunny yellow)
 

Poor Ellie had about 50 bug bites at one time.
 

Today at lunch Nicky told me that a woman at the gate was trying to give her little, maybe newborn, baby to them.). Could you imagine the hopelessness you would have to feel to give up your baby?
 We actually found out later that this woman's daughter died in childbirth, so she is taking care of all her other kids too.
