Getting in the Swing of Things

We are finally getting situated…we hit a few rough patches and are still trying to figure a few things out.  We had very little water, but finally got it fixed yesterday.  Our washing machine was broke, but a guy came today to fix it, so we’re hoping that it actually works now.  The power has not been on very much and our inverter (a set of batteries that charges during the day and then gives up power when the electric goes out) hasn’t been working correctly, so we can’t do much without power.  It was pretty miserable at night when the fans went off.  Also, our oven wasn’t working, so we can’t cook much.  We thought we got it fixed, but it’s still weird.  And did I mention yet that it’s REALLY HOT! 

BUT…

In all things REJOICE!  God is still getting us through and things are still getting done amidst these difficulties.  I got to check out the school, and although there is a lot of work to do, I’m still really excited!  Wilkyns, the one starting the school, has a lot of great ideas.  The curriculum looks like it will work really well and we’re going to test the kids soon to see how much they really know so we know where to start…now we just have to get a roof on the building!  Pray that we can get that done ASAP!

Next on my agenda is to get a cell phone plan and a motorcycle so that I can help out in more areas.  Now to learn how to drive like a Dominican! 

Off to more adventures…stay tuned for what happens next!
