Well we are finally on line at our house, sort of!! We can only hook up to a computer line that is right by our front door. The previous owner has somehow seperated the phone line from the computer line and the only one is by our front door, soo, here I sit in the hall on the floor finally blogging with pics. The first pics I would like to show you are from our trip and the state of TaLeahs new guitar when we finally got it. Don't you just love the amount of luggage, hey, we were allowed 2 suit cases each and a carry on and we took full advantage of that. We got a lot of looks from people who I'm sure thought we didn't know how to pack for a holiday. The airlines lost 3 of our bags. One of the bags had all of Kirbeys medicine minus enough for 1 week and all Kirbeys clothes. We started to panic after three days had passed because we were down to only 2 days left of Kirbeys medicine as 2 days were used traveling and 3 had goen by, so, we had to find a doctor to prescribe her new medicine and this would cost a lot. We found one and just as we were about to go in and fill the prescription my cell phone(mobile as they call it here) rang and our bags had been found,money saved! We still had to buy Kirbey some clothes though. So then we got to go and see the condition of the luggage and we just about fell over when we saw TaLeahs new guitar. The cardboard was crushed and as we opened the cardboard cover we were happy to see it was still protected by the padded case.The jet lag was also intence. Kirbey has never ever, ever fallen asleep outside of her bed before and she just kept falling asleep everywhere. The twins sat up most of the second night. But we addjusted and have been sleeping fine. The twins had to sleep on the pull out bed mattress for 3 week because that is how long it took to get their mattresses after we bought them. Nothing seems to be in stock when we buy stuff and it needs to be shipped in from the mainland. We also have to wait for eveything else. EVERYTHING. 4 weeks for internet, 3 week so far for a plummer, leeky toilet,broken power shower, dripping other shower, 3 weeks so far for gates to keep the dog in, 6-8 weeks for the monk hut/dog house,5 days to clear check even if they are from this city and so on I'm sure you get the picture. Anyway we are making it work but I must say if we did not think this was a call from God, then we might be on our way home!!!!

I have really missed your updates and check daily (except for the last two days).

We had Annaliis staying with us for the last month...Will, Karen and Steph just got back yesterday from Europe and said they had a wonderful time.

Things at church are winding up for Ward...we are having a lunch for them this Sunday after church.
Beth just had another leg surgery Monday...but all seems to be going okay in her recovery so far.

I will be starting work in Sept for a Stair manufacturer in the front office...something new and very different but I feel like I have nothing to lose.

The girls are good. I wish I had had a camera today...we went to Ben Lee and someone had dumped laundry soap in one of the fountains...Mickala slipped and got covered in bubbles...it was so hard not to laugh as she was crying from the humiliation...eventually she did join in the laughter but boy would the picture have been priceless!

Let us know how the Ministry is going...we will keep praying for all of you!

Love ya
