2 Weeks Later!

Okay, Wow! We've been here for 2 weeks now and I can't begin to tell you all that's happened. We've been at New Vision City of Refuge for about 1 week now. The day we came it was POURING down rain all day. The steps to our apartment are concrete and slippery when wet. Well, you guessed it, someone fell down the steps...Dulcie. OUCH! She was wearing her slippers (Jamaican for flip flops) and fell on her wrist and bottom. Needless to say, she was laid up for a few days. We've sent up lots of prayer and she is 100% healed now! Then Levi fell off of his scooter and chipped his front tooth which is, you guessed it, a permanent tooth! We're planning a trip to the Dentist. We've got the apartment arranged the way we want, and are all moved in, thanx to the help of some of the teenagers here. They've been very helpful. We've gotten to eat a few meal together and had a movie night. They really seem to be accepting us and our kids are loving being here!

We went to the grocery store and took a wrong turn. Luckily, we had one of the Jamaican boys with us and he was able to get us where we needed to be! Thank you Roland! Our bill at the grocery store was $11,700 (Jamaican), but what a shocker, eh? That was about $170 US. Food is kinda expensive here.

In the midst of moving in, we've had to travel to Kingston...got lost...to pick up a crib...WE'RE HAVING A BABY! Well, not us, but the home. We are actually getting 4 new kids on Tuesday the 29th. a girl who is 7, and 3 boys age 5, 3, and 8 months. Everyone is pretty excited, especially my kids and Dulcie...you know her and babies! Anyway, we've been preparing for them. Just pray for a successful assimilation into the home.

Oh, for those of you who really know me, you'll get a kick out of this...I replaced a light switch! Go ME! It actually works! I'm so amazed. And I painted my very first refrigerator. It was beginning to rust and just needed a new look, so I painted it! Aren't I becoming the handy man!

Well, I could go on and on, but it's getting late...church tomorrow. Just know that things are well and our internet and phone are FINALLY working properly! We'd love to hear from you!
Blessings to all!
