Settling In

Day 2
I didn't sleep too well last night. I kept waking up, I think it's just the unfamiliar sounds. I kept thinking about how long 12 months really is! I reminded myself that this is a dream come true and I should be thankful for this opportunity. It is actually quite quiet around here in the evening but during the day it is a buzz of activity. There always seems to be someone new coming through the door. They all seem to know each other.
Apparently it's even hotter than usual these days, but the fan in my room makes it very bearable. I woke up feeling pretty good. Today we are going to visit the Baptist Mission.
There is a Canadian couple here right now who are adopting a boy from Coram Deo. They will be taking him back to Canada on Tuesday. They have been really helpful to me, explaining how things work and translating for me. Karen is very busy and I haven't seen too much of her. She definately has her hands full. I'm glad that I will be albe to take some of the load very soon.

Hey Kimmie Gibbler!
Wonderful to hear you arrived safely - we think of you and pray for you often. Just curious - is it the noise of the chickens that keeps you up at night?
