The New Stuff
The other day, I was walking from my car to a building, and I brushed up against some greenery. This time, it did not make me break out in vicious hives. Instead, it left me with another gift: a chameleon. He must have come from there. I know not whence else he could haev come. All said and done, he ended up on the inside edge of my T-shirt.
And then he crawled up my tummy and beyond. Ew. I jumped and squeaked. He flew out of there and onto the ground. I kicked at him and he lost his tail. Then, I let dog have at him.
And that's just another day in our lives here.
July looked like an easy going slow kind of month, but instead we found it to be pretty busy. We ended up moving out of our lovely monster house (called such because it was so big) and into the mission's guesthouse facilities, in order to help out with the hosting job. That means we take reservations of incoming missionaries and help with what they need here. It's everything from making sure their room air conditioner is working to taking them out for a cup of coffee (not too shabby :)).
We feel we are finally settled in. And we like it. The kids are enjoying the bikeriding space, the great outdoors. We are very thankful to the Lord for this new adventure.
We've also welcomed some new co-workers, helping them with where to find things and looking for a house.
Ben has a flight tomorrow. The new pilot will accompany him, and I will flight follow with the wife of the new pilot. We have good times. Coffee and laughter and good fellowship. Well, there is some work involved too. and kid watching. and possibly some cooking. It will be Friday. Fun Friday. That means we will have some fun.
We've been mighty busy. It's time for a little fun.
