1. It has been a month since I have driven a car.
2. It has been a month since I have eaten ice cream.
3. It has been a month since I have slept in a nice air conditioned room.
4. We have been here for about 30 days and I have had diarrhea for 15 of them.
5. I have been to beach 5 times (prior to this it had been 4 years!)
6. I have played a million board games with my husband and girls (and it is lots of fun!)
7. I have made some great new friends (both ex-pat and nationals)
8. I have loved every minute of it!!!
Here are just a few pictures of our time here:
Me with my language helper, Ruth. She is currently at the island of Manus visiting her home village...Come back soon, Ruth! We miss you!
On the way to church
At the market
Playing Jenga
Some local houses
And finally I leave you with a few pics of one of our trips to the beach
SOO glad you guys are enjoying life here!! Have to say i'm very jealous you get to live by the beach and i have to go there for vacation! My #5 on your list is the exact opposite - growing up by the beach and missing it tons! But, we live in a gorgeous place here as well! Can't wait to meet you guys in a couple weeks! Glad you've settled in! :) - Stacy
ReplyDeleteHa ha! I know we cannot wait to meet you guys either. Your name is written on the calendar in supply and I get excited when I see it! Sorry, you are not near the beach, but at least you live in a much cooler place! Jumping in the ocean is the only way to cool us off some days! :)
ReplyDeleteI am so enjoying your blog, Jessi. Keep it up!
