First Two Weeks...

May 2008-1

They have been very full. We have had 3 days of classes and we each have our different experiences with them. Aaron and I have Grammar class together but then Phonetics and Language in different classes. I feel my 2 years in High School is really paying off. I am wishing I would've paid a little more attention to it! Aaron loves his classes as well and we are adjusting very well. We are all sleeping very good and trying lots of new foods. But there is plenty of Gringo food here as well. For dinners we have fixed hamburgers and chicken on the grill, and last night we made tacos for our missionary friends.

We have a swimming pool on our back porch now for the girls to play in and they absolutely love it. We are getting into rainy season and a bit cooler (70s) but they don't seem to mind that. We went to a local market and bought some yummy fruits and veggies. It was an experience cutting up my first pineapple! I also gave Aaron his first haircut here and we ended up taking almost all of it off because Aaron wanted me to try something new. It didn't go very well. So he now has really short hair. But he says he wants it this short all the time because it is cooler.

Please continue to pray for our safety here. We are Americans and unfortunately are targeted for crime. We actually feel pretty safe here in our neighboorhood but crime can happen anywhere. Please also pray for some of our missionary friends who were pregnant with twins, but went into preterm labor at 25 weeks. These little girls are very little and having several complications.
