I am happy to share with you all that we have settled into our new apartment & it's beginning to feel a little like home. We are getting to know San Antonio de Belen, the bus routes, and the good places to buy pinapple (very important). We have been involved in a few different areas at the school (many many English placement interviews, some staff meetings, and some other miscellaneous work). We also had a neat experience serving with a bible school/food ministry for poor children in a city close to here. . . Overall this month has been an amazing opportunity to meet new people and to see God at work in the lives of many.
Thought we'd share some pictures with you so you can get an idea of life here . . .

Thanks to everyone for your support through all of this! We wouldn't be here without you!!

HOPE YOU BOTH HAD A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!!!
What a joy to hear from you! Your apartment looks cozy. It always seems to feel more like home when you have your own space. Blessings as you continue wherever the Lord leads you each day.

GREAT PICS. Hope this finds you both well. Glad to hear that you're feeling more at home. Looking forward to future updates & how God will continue using you both. Floyd told me your Dad is thinking of a mission trip down your way. I hope to hook up with him & find out more details. The Lord bless & keep you both.
In the name & love of Christ... Bubba Heasley
