So here it is!!! We made it safe and sound...more pictures on my facebook!!! =) I'll post more later. Today our first guests arrived so Andy and I had to figure things out in a jiffy...It was kinda embarrassing how much we questioned ourselves, still figuring things out! We had two days of orientation and a tour of the area! There is so much in walking distance which makes things alot easier. Already I have learned that you have to buy baking soda at a pharmacy...not in grocery stores. Milk and yogurt come in bags...weird. The cheese here is affordable but interesting...I like it though. Its HARD to find seasonings that I like. (Italian mainly) Um, the food here overall is EXCELLENT, especially the breads!...
Thank you for your prayers! =) More to come later!

your new home looks great, Mindy! we actually spent a night in that guest house in Oct of last yr (we went to Bolivia with my dad for a conference). Is a nice place and i know you guys will be a blessing to everyone there. Is the noisy bird in the tree in the front yard still waking everyone up early in the am? :)
ReplyDeleteHey Mindy...glad to hear things are going well so far. Have fun down there! We just got back from Southern Cal and had tons of fresh-off-the-tree papaya. =) Take advantage of the incredible fruits you can get down there. Praying for you guys.
ReplyDeleteHaha...Yes Jen it is!!! =) Except I think its moved from the front yard to right by our window! I love it...
ReplyDeleteYes, Sonja...I'll definitely take advantage of the fruit! =)
Thanks for your prayers guys!
I just found your blog, Mindy, and I love it!! I'm so excited for you two! I hope you keep updating on here--it's almost a substitute for hanging on the couch together and chatting. :) Love and miss you!
