Settling in

Hi everyone,

I guess you could say we are settling in. We went to church yesterday and then had a wonderful lunch with our friends. It was nice to be around other people. We were beginning to have that "snowed in" feeling. We headed to the pool today and it was strange to have to search the pool for our family. Usually we stick out like big light bulbs and here we actually blended in.

The heat has been something we are all having to get used to. It is definitely not like this in our village. I don't think I have sweat this much since living in Mexico! We are getting to know our neighbors slowly. It is neat being surrounded by people who are attending the seminary. The apartments we live in are owned by the seminary and in order to live here, someone in the family needs to be taking a certain amount of classes there. They have all been super nice and very welcoming. The boys haven't made any friends yet, but we hope that will change soon. Our good friends, the Mims, live about 40 minutes from here, so we plan on spending the 4th with them and that should make the boys very happy! I promise to post some more pics soon. I have been lazy. I am just a little tired, I guess. I haven't been able to sleep very well..... TOO QUIET!! I miss my chickens and roosters! Oh the differences! I think I will be purchasing a noise machine! (or a rooster) I think my neighbors would probably prefer the noise machine! :o)

We talked to some of our friends today. It made me miss them soooo much! We are getting ready to call all of them in a few minutes because they are all together for their Monday night meeting. We wanted to encourage them all and tell them how much we love and miss them. Please keep praying for them. Angelica moved back in with her husband. I don't know if that is good or not?!?!? Her boys, however stayed at their grandparent's home. It's tough. Okay, I know this is long. Love you!! Missy
