We awoke around 7am to no electricity that led to no hot water that led to a frigidly cold shower. After breakfast we had orientation of base rules and were set out in small groups on a treasure hunt in our small town called "San Francisco". We had to accomplish small tasks such as finding the post office and ask how much it cost to send a postcard to the US, pick up a menu from a restaurant, take a picture with a taxi driver, and finally the trip lead to a park where we had lunch and sports. I played soccer while Jen played Frisbee. During the afternoon free time Jen and I walked around town and bought Coca-Cola Light... yeah Light not Diet! (remember Jes?) Anyway, the staff had an amazing welcome dinner for us students. It consisted of Steak Fajitas with chips and salsa.
Some of the pictures don't do this place justice. It is more beautiful than we remembered and the people here are so kind. We are some how humbled with our bare room and intermittently cold showers. We are still on the edge of our seats for what God has in store for us... So stay tuned for more updates and pictures!

Hey guys! Please know that we are praying for you daily and ask God to use you to spread His Word and the people you meet to be open and receptive to what you're teaching. Abbie was looking at the pictures you posted and said "Uncle Jason carried me when we were looking at trees". Isn't it amazing how the smallest of actions makes the biggest impression? We love you! Walter, Robin (Abbie, Logan and Li'l Walt too!)
So good to hear updates, keep them coming. It looks so great! You guys are awesome, we miss you but know that God has great plans!
