Estamos aqui!! (We're here!!)

We made it! It's been forever since we've been online (I'm borrowing a computer now), but all is well. We had fairly smooth travel getting here (my dad DID get to be on each plane with us, hallelujah!!), and were able to handle each of the problems that arose in the various airports.

We have spent the last several days getting unpacked, getting a vehicle, getting appliances, and getting to know the people here at the camp. Our aniticipated "home" for the next several months was the dorm at the campground, but the Lord opened the door for us to stay in a house temporarily. That's really a huge blessing, as now we have a bedroom for the girls, a place to put the appliances, a kitchen, and a bathroom, among other benefits (namely, the shady front porch that sits under a mango tree!!)

There is so much to tell and some pictures to share, but we are borrowing this computer, as I said. So that'll have to wait. We have hooked up cell phones. As soon as I know what our numbers will be, I'll try to get those out somehow. We only have like 20 minutes or so per month to use, but those minutes don't include incoming calls. All incoming calls will be free for us to receive. Praise God!! So give us a call sometime....

Camille and Caroline are just great. They are having the time of their lives getting to know the kids here at the home and learning more and more Spanish. My mom and dad are doing fine, also. The kids call my dad Papa Noel (Santa Claus) and love to touch his goatee. One in particular sets up a little beauty shop around his lawn chair and fixes his hair and beard continually. The heat is just about unbearable most of the time, but the house is breezy and has some ceiling fans, and we're looking for the perfect mango tree for a hammock.

This morning, while Ken waited for the fridge and stove to come, I drove (yes, I drove) into town to try to get my Hepatitis A shot. No luck in finding the injection, but I did learn where to go for dairy, where to go for bread, and where to go for refilling the gas tank that hooks to my stove. And I learned how to back into a motorcycle. In my defense, these things are EVERYWHERE!! And no one was on it. Thankfully, we had the local evangelist in the backseat, and he jumped out to assess the situation and smooth it over. What a help he was today. No damage to speak of, praise God!

Tonight, we go to our first service in one of the house churches. Can't wait to see how that goes. Hopefully, we will have our own internet hooked up soon and can send out email and photos, and keep this blog updated.

Thank you so much for all your prayers. We feel them and can see where they are helping us daily. We miss you all. :)
