Home Sweet Home

I apologize for the lack of communication recently. In this period of transition, internet access has been a very low priority.

To give you guys an update, we are currently in Juazeiro do Norte. We arrived here on Wednesday evening. We spent that night in our new home. We were unable to figure out how to get the air conditioning unit to work, so we sweltered that night. I must have lost at least five kilos (yes, everything is in metric now).

On Thursday we spent a good part of the day with other missionaries celebrating thanksgiving. Later that day we called an electrician, who came and showed us the little switch we have to flip to turn on the a/c unit. He got five reais for that service.

Today we are in town getting supplies for the house. We are still waiting for our sea container to arrive. It is in port, it just needs to go through customs and be shipped to us. Among the things on our shopping list today is a transformer so we can plug in our American appliances.

We will have some pictures up later on. Tonight we are going to a concert being put on by some seminary students.
