We arrived safe and sound yesterday, but extremely tired as you can imagine. Our big sister met us at the airport and we were able to get all 35 bags through immigrations and customs (although the customs official did examine the bag with all the chocolate chips! : ) Our house is phenomenal--after being there and getting our stuff unloaded, our big sister, Lynda, took us to PriceSmart (the Sam's Club), where the Lord showed me that He is going to work on my patience (or lack of) while here. We waited in line FOREVER for the application. I was able to buy some fruits and vegetables, diapers, etc.
Last night, we slept GREAT!
Unfortunately, we learned how important good traction is for shoes here this afternoon. Timothy, who turns 13 tomorrow, fell on our tile floor outside the house and broke his wrist this afternoon after we had a rain. He is doing great, and was home pretty quickly after going to the hospital (unlike home, right!), but please pray for him as he recovers. He'll get the cast off in three weeks.
We should get our cable/phone in 8 to 10 days, so it will be much easier for us to be in touch then. The fellow missionaries here have stopped by both yesterday and today to introduce themselves and ask how they can help out. The Ticas (what the locals call themselves) walk by us and gape at our big family! : )
The boys have already met some kids their ages. Trey went and ate pizza tonight with a family with teenagers (from TN).
I can't wait to write more later, but for now that's it!
