We haven’t heard the kids laugh like this in a long, long time.  They played ALL day!

The grocery store was overwhelming today. It took over 3 hours, and we still have to purchase more when we get to Tena.  Not being able to read the labels was a real time stealer.  I thought I would be able to navigate based on pictures.  No such luck.  The mayo comes in a pouch, the milk in boxes on the shelf, even the produce was largely unfamiliar.  Deoderant costs over $6!!!  I am so thankful that Sherry took time out of her day to walk me through it.

We won’t be able to get packages delivered by the postal service.  Even our friends here in Quito don’t have that luxury due to theft and the expense. However, when people come over on mission teams or to visit they can bring things to us. 🙂

Our phones won’t be ready until next week, and they will be for use in Ecuador only.  Eric and I will try to get the magicjack up sometime this week. Skype should be an option once we are set up in Misahualli.  It looks like we will be staying in a different cabin because the new one isn’t finished yet.  We’re just thankful it’s not a tent!

Here is a photo link to our facebook account if you haven’t seen the pictures yet.
