Where's the Monkey?

If you look really close, there are monkeys in those trees. In the other picture, the two little white monkeys wearing their favorite PJs crashed out together are wiped out from a long day in the bush! They enjoyed spending time in the village.



This is one of our night guards here at the compound sporting his new bike! The kids had to go fetch theirs bikes so as not to be outdone.

We've been to the bush! Can't say we were all that impressed with the long ride and bumpy road. Quite honestly even using the word road is somewhat misleading, I prefer to think of it as a string of multi sized potholes with an occasional set of ruts for your tires and the odd stretch of creek in the middle of it! Mike kept saying that for all of the safari effect we were getting, we really should be seeing some animals. We saw the occasional cow and many sheep, goats and dogs. Not exactly what we hoped for.

The village we stayed in was fun, though. We were able to meet the chief and his family. We also got to watch the ladies draw water from the well and carry it on their heads. We even saw little girls about Karis' size carry a huge bucket of it on their head.

Karis is now completely well. She's running around like a wild Indian again and enjoying life. My arm is also much better. Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers for us.

We have a new French tutor now. She seems to be very capable of taking us to the next level of French. We are still plugging along. We are actually able to learn and tell some Bible stories now if we apply ourselves and find patient listeners.

We are also looking forward to having our first volunteer team soon. We can't wait to see friends from home!!

We love hearing from you guys. Skype, email, come, whatever! ;) Send us pictures of you too.

Love to all,
Heather
