"We're not in Kansas anymore" second edition better known as Hace Calor

A huge difference that I haven't mentioned in the previous blog is heat!  We stepped out of the plane two Mondays ago to a wave of hot humid air.  It really hasn't changed much since then.

Our bodies are slowly getting adjusted to the heat. This past Sunday, I was really struggling with the feeling of "I just can't get cooler".  In the first week, we asked the locals what we can do about the heat.. take a shower was the only real advice.

We don't have a water heater, and honestly it doesn't matter right now.  The water is not freezing cold.  During the heat of the day, you can step out of the shower and still feel sticky.  In Pennsylvania, we would give the kids a bath 1-2 times a week.  Now the kids take baths every day.  They don't always use soap. ;)

In other news Fleurette went home this past Friday.  For us it settled into our hearts that we're here for the "long hull" now.  We are so thankful for the time she spent with us.  She spent her last full day with us.  We miss her already!

We have started our "regular" activities. Nathanael working with men 1 on one, interpreting for others when there is a need, cleaning the church etc.  We have had several guests to our house. The children (and I) started homeschooling this week.  We are on a learning curve but overal it's going well and we're thankful for new routines to start.

This is the song I can't get out of my head recently: 

Thank you all for praying for us!
