The good, the bad and the ugly.


The good:

the boys went to their first day of school and all of them enjoyed it, though some more than others. Christian likes his school and has made one friend, Joshua, the only other boy in his class along with 14 girls.

Blake made friends quickly with a Kenyan boy named Matthew, who is the son of the school principal. They hope to spend time together this weekend.

Addison made friends with Matthew's brother, Simon, and loved school.

Collin is adjusting but did fine. He could not remember his friend's name, but he said that he made one.

I am driving successfully here, using Martin's van while he is in America.

We saw some nice houses, but still not sure which one we should take.

I went to the store all by myself and was able to make all of the purchases that I was sent to obtain.

The bad, and sometimes ugly:
Pamela still has no suitcase.

We still have not completed a successful wire transfer, so we have no money.

We have not found a house yet.

We have not purchased vehicles yet, mainly because we have no money.

The road to Christian's school is horrendous and quite an adventure. Gulleys, potholes, livestock, large rocks, many people, etc.
