The Dickens

Joel is enjoying his work at the hospital.  We are still living in two houses.  The painting was completed yesterday, so that is nice.  Now on to putting stuff away the previous missionaries left behind for us.  With a one year old, I don't want to move in until things she can get into are up and out of reach.

It's hot here all the time during the day, pretty much.  I don't have temperatures to give you.  Since it is the dry season, it does cool down very nicely at night, though.  No a/c units here in the guest house.  There is one window unit in the guest bedroom of the house we will move into.  We may get one more of those to use during the rainy season.  

We need to get back to school soon.  Maybe after the first of the year.  But also needing to get moved into our house.  No auto dishwashers here.  That's a change for us. Some have asked about food and supplies.  We can get some things in a town 3 hours away, other things in a town 6 hours away, and yet more things in a town 13 hours away.  We buy different items in the different towns. There is definitely no one-stop shopping here!  Not even one-town shopping! Here in Nalerigu you can get some dark meat chicken (not wrapped, but at least frozen), tomatoes, onions, bananas, bell peppers, toilet paper, soap bars, and a few other items.  

I'm feeling pretty good.  Typical fatigue and hunger.  Then the last few days the acid reflux that I've had with my last three pregnancies has started a bit.  

The kids are doing well. Colt enjoys playing with the other missionary boy here, Benton.  Abigail is enjoying closing the toilet lids since she's seen me do that to keep her out of them!  

We miss you and love you and would love to hear from you.  Still behind on emails and getting a bit homesick.
