A letter to my church.

Hello, Everyone! I have successfully moved into the orphanage and have adjusted fine to life here. My duties are taking care of the boys when Sam and Johan are off or busy, helping the handicap boy with exercises, and doing laundry. We have Church on Sunday afternoons. Prayer meeting on Wednesday evening and Sunday school for the children Saturday morning. The boys are somewhat well behaved. But, sometimes they need discipline more than a point on the misbehaving chart. I haven't had to spank anyone, but I have been a witness. Two adults need to be present to make sure not abuse occurs. Not a fun part of the job, if you know what I mean.

In other news. I have been called the "Card King" here, because I get so many cards. Thank you for those. Thank you for the emails and the support as well.

We had a retreat here for the whole BMA team. It started on Tuesday and went until Friday morning. We hiked up a mountain near here. Had a track and field day. Went out-to-eat three times. And just pretty much had a change of schedule for a few days.

Johan is on a two week vacation right now. So, he missed the retreat. But, I'm sure he didn't mind since he was at home. He will be returning on the 24th.

Dean Martin came down to visit. He arrived on Monday the 16th and left Friday morning on the train for Chihuahua. He will be will be helping Adam Sensenig with his house over there, like I had. It was nice to had him stop by. Though he didn't really see how life normally is here since he came during the retreat. Thanks to the people who sent gifts with him.

I don't have any cockroach stories because I haven't seen any here. But, what we do have is daddy-long-leggers. They are annoying because they are everywhere and they sit in big piles sometimes. Which makes them easy to spray with bug spray. Not as lively as cockroaches, but still as fun to kill.

Thanks for everything.

Later and God Bless
