Dear Friends and Family,

Thanks for checking in on the blog. It's been a very interesting experience so far. Such a different culture. Kerianne and I have gone out for a run the past two mornings and our scenery includes roaming animals - cows, turkeys, chickens, lots of yappy dogs. We start out on a bumpy dirt road and it quickly changse to a paved busy street - noisy with vehicles. One can see wealth and poverty almost on the same street.

The women all helped with Shelley's camp this morning. Fun!!! Adorable children. Eddie, one of Cam's friends from when he was here 3 years ago, was teaching me several Spanish phrases this morning. It was fairly easy to catch on to because of the hours I spent marking Kerianne's Spanish homework when she homeschooled as a junior (grade 11).

It's time for lunch and I'm hungry. It doesn't take much to build up a healthy appetite and I am loving this food. So many fresh fruits and vegetables. Avacado has never tasted so good.

God is good.

Blessings to you and thanks for your prayers!!!!

Karen
