UNA PIÑA y UN BUEN CLIMA

Ok so we are now at our new home. Things have been a little difficult the last few days. You never realize how huge transportation is until you simply don't have it. Other than the problems with the truck--- everything has been great. I believe we are both aclimating to everything very quickly--- especially the food and the food prices. We bought a ton of fruit yesterday for like $9. I am all about it. Last Friday night was good because we were able to connect with some friends of ours in the capital and go out to eat. They showed us some of the comida tipica--- it is very good. Right now I am in the internet cafe waiting on the truck to be fixed. I am thinking it is something real simple like the battery/battery cables.

We are settling down in the house and getting acquainted with the area. Everyone here is very helpful, so this good to know. But through all the different little frustrations the Lord has been amazingly gracious. He real gently spoke to me-- 'It's just stuff'. So we are learning to let go even more--- and it is amusing at times. The Lord is good-- and His love endures forever. Here is a picture of our little dinner table. We are really enjoying the house and we bough a blender and Sarah made some slammin' watermelon smoothies. Well that is enough for today. Keep praying for my Spanish--- it is coming along, but I really need the Lord's anointing for it. Good to hear from so many of you already---- Jacob Schoen your slacking.... you need to try harder in order to be the #1 blogger again.
