Getting Settled In

We had a wonderful past two weeks. We're still learning how things work around here, but are adjusting well. We celebrated Mothers Day last week by going to Outback Steakhouse with some friends. It was good to have a little American Food and relax. We are still getting settled, but things are going great. We attended our first home Bible Study last night with friends and are excited about being able to lead one ourselves. What a joy to open the Bible and teach people that are hungry for the Good News. We just have a little, okay a lot, of langauge to learn before we can be on our own. School is going great. It challenges us and excites us at the same time. Its a little hard getting back into the routine of 'going to school' with homework and studying... but with the desire to be able to speak to the people and share the Gospel we press on. I (Kerri)am emjoying my class in the morning and our schedule works out great. God worked things out perfectly as far as me staying home with the girls and being tutored. Thanks for your prayers for that.
The girls are changing oh so fast! Kamryn and Taylor are now pulling up on everything. Kamryn crawls more than Taylor, but Taylor talks a little more than Kamryn. Kamryn is EVERYWHERE. She keeps us running all over the house looking for her and Taylor continues to be her chatty self. Yesterday we went into a fun little store just to look and the clerk there was talking to the girls and dancing and Taylor started dancing with her while she sat in her stroller. They are so much fun.

Please remember to pray for us as we 'press on' with the language and as we continue to figure things out here. Pray for the girls' health. We have had no ear infections since we've been here.. what an answer to prayer! A few of the small kids around us are sick so please pray for our girls to remain healthy as a small virus can be really rough on them. We love you and covet your prayers!

Ted walked out the door to get water from the water guy and Kamryn followed him to see what was going on.

I had my toes done for Mothers Day.. I had to show off the detail that was done by hand.


My very special Mother's Day ... for a very blessed Mom!
