A Post in Pictures




Our wonderful new ride! It is a Yamaha 225CC dirt bike and handles the mud great!
The entrance to our house along with a sweet neighborhood kid. We leave our door open when we are home with the curtain closed for privacy. This picture also shows our stools and blue trashcan.


Our shelves have been an amazing addition to our home. In this picture you can see our Jerry Cans for water,  basins for washing, stove which is on the bottom left shelf. Charcoal is in the green bag on the left-hand shelf. The middle shelf is for our food and the right shelf has our dishes, handyman supplies, alarm clock and our board game collection. 


We bought our closet, fan, and plastic shelves at a store called Game which is owned by Walmart...go figure...They even sell the Walmart brand, Main stay. 

We love that the house has a tin roof and a high ceiling. It makes the room feel a lot bigger. You can also see our mosquito net and one light-bulb. 
This is the entrance to our house. We cook, do laundry, and wash dishes out here on the stoop. It is a good place to get to know the neighbors.  
This is supposed to be a rock porch...Well, we are working on it..We now have rocks to fill in the middle. The bricks go around in a semi-circle to make a "porch" but we still need 1 more brick. :) 

This picture also shows our window with the green curtain in it and our neighborhood friend along with the never-ending laundry. :) 




This is the view of our "neighborhood". At the very back is our latrine and bathing area. 



This is what happens when it rains and all the laundry is still wet. 


Us in our Sunday best after a very muddy drive! Notice the E3 helmet in Cody's hand. Our church gave them to us before we left. 


This is GSF. These are the houses where the children live and where Katie spends most of her time right now.


Across from the houses is the playground and a beautiful view of the mountains and forest area where we live. It really is a breathtaking place to live and work. 

Cody and his PreK-1st Grade Missionary Kids building a basket for baby Moses out of Jinga blocks during their class.


Some of Katie's sweet kids loving on each other and having a good time. It is so nice to see special needs kids playing together and caring for one another. 




So...sometimes missionaries dress alike...There are only so many long skirts made in America, and Target is awesome! :)
