“Girl, it’s been so long it’s as if you’ve fallen off the
face of the earth!”
That’s the way an email began I received recently from a
dear friend.
“You’ve not emailed, you’ve not skyped, you’ve not blogged…”
she continued.
I know, I know.
But we’re not disappearing, we’ve just had some really
challenging weeks lately.
The continuous power outages make getting on the internet
impossible and the monsoon season makes going in a vehicle to where they have
internet formidable. We’ve had several bouts of illness and language learning
has been enormously time consuming. I’m not complaining, I’m just giving a
picture of what life has been like on this side of the world the last few
weeks.
The good news is: vacation is just days away!
Mind you, this won’t be your typical American vacation. No,
we’ll be staying in a hut in the middle of a rice paddy with a view of
mountains and waterfalls from our patio. But more on that in the days ahead…
For now, I just wanted our friends and family to know we’re
still out here. We still need your yarps and more than ever, we are glad to be
in the place where Father wants us to be.
Don't forget us. Be watching for pictures of our vacation soon!
