One week in

I should apologize for not posting sooner. It's hard to believe that we've been here for a week already. Unless you've been overseas it's hard to understand the utter contrast between the different worlds. In ways we're quite familiar with both but in other ways not so much.
Some things we've been readjusting to are: the heat, sweating, ants, dirt, did I say heat?, sweat?, ants? These are the main things. Some coworkers provided meals for our first few days so that was a great help. It take a while to remember how to cook here, or rather just what there is available and how long it takes etc.
Overall we're doing really well. We came up to our mission center this past Tuesday and starting assessing the work that we need/want to do on the dorm before we move in. Pete hired a couple guys from town to do some painting so our wing is painted. Yesterday we moved in a bunch of our furniture. Tommorow they'll paint the main room/kitchen living room and then hopefully we'll move in later this week. There is some electrical to be done and some cleaning and stuff. We haven't gotten our stuff from storage yet, with the exception of our bikes and the jogging stroller.
People have been coming to great us for the last few days. It's been great to see our African friends. Pray for us to be able to develop deeper relationships with them.
I would attach some pictures but the cord for my camera is in the room where Ian's sleeping, so that will have to wait.
Thanks so much for all your prayers for us. TTFN
