A Roof and Wheels

Here are a few pictures from some recent adventures. We've been doing well, now we are mobile with wheels of our own and will also be moving into a house of our own (Thanks to God & Aunt Lottie Moon!!) Pictures of both are posted here.

Thank you so much for praying for us about finding a house. We hopefully will be moving in this week on Thursday. We've had a nice temporary place to stay in Quito but it is a true answered prayer to have found this permanent place in the Valley. It was taking a lot of time to look for a place (we had looked at approx. 20-25 places) and it is now one less thing to worry about. We will have to put more pictures on the blog at a later time. It has a great view and a nice little yard. By the way, the whole building won't be ours, we will be staying in the second floor.
Here's our truck. He needs a name (we are open to suggestions, please write them in the comments section). It's been pretty fun driving around and having that option open after about three weeks of riding public transportation. We will still ride buses now and then but it is nice to have our own vehicle. Driving is a bit crazy but a bit tame compared to Kampala. The biggest thing I've noticed is people can't make up their mind about what lane they want to be in, so a lot of times they'll just take "their half right down the middle of the road" (I think that quote is courtesy of my supervisor, Phil Calvert). Another problem with driving is displayed in following picture...
They sure start the drivers out awfully young. The poor little guy has to stand on the seat and lean forward just to see. ;) I recommend clicking on the picture to enlarge it so you will be able to fully appreciate it.

I guess this is all for now. I hope to post some more pictures later on and give more of an update.
