Work, Mail, etc.

Craig worked all day on the land today. He came home for lunch all sweaty, then went to the orphanage to fix the bathroom light (which is done now) and then went back out to work. They were again moving large rocks (boulders) by hand. He has two workers out there with him all day. It is so neat to see how absolutely exhausted Craig is when he gets home, yet how big the smile is on his face. He said today "the work is tough, but so good". So often throughout the day the Chris Rice song "belong" comes into my head. I remember how just a year ago, we were talking with our friends, the Richter's about how Craig has never felt like he fit in - but here, he feels at home, he is right where God wants him to be. The girls and I also feel very at home, and are getting over feeling "trapped in" after seeing how the public bus system works.
Craig and Brooke are now in Puyo (they took the bus) and should be back soon. They went to check our post office box.

We had some of the neighborhood girls over to play again today.

Yesterday I went to the market in Puyo and loaded up on fruits and veggies. I also bought some ice cream bean (which cousin Steven recommended we get) and some live grubs...not sure what to do with them, but couldn't resist. We also have two more chicks and some ducks - looking forward to getting eggs.

We added a new webpage that has the current building project needs as well as our own personal "want" list for anyone wanting to send a small package to us. None of our items are needs - although we would really appreciate some Spanish Bibles and children's Bible story books or tracts in Spanish for the people in our neighborhood as well as families of children who are brought to the orphanage.
