First days!

We had breakfast at Mugg & bean on Thursday morning and skyped a little with Ned and Dad. After, we went to get our car and then headed to Pick 'N Pay to get a few groceries. It was a productive day and a good start to getting settled in!

Orientation on Friday went well! There are a lot of details, names, and routines to remember! I think it will all seem easier once we get out of jetlag and in a routine.

Our first day of working was on Saturday. We worked with another international volunteer from Iowa named Emily. She was sweet in answering all of our questions and helping us begin to learn the routine. We enjoyed getting to know some of the personalities of the sweet babies. They soak up all the attention they can with their sweet baby sounds and smiles.

Monday was our first official day off and we went to the Glen Mall and enjoyed lunch out and walking around, getting a little shopping done as well. There is a ton of World Cup banners and advertisments everywhere!

On Tuesday we got to take the 4 toddlers on a walk up and down the neighborhood hills. We got our exercise and the boys enjoyed seeing the different sights and hear the different sounds!

Last night, we watched the Uruguay vs. Netherlands with Auntie Francinah and Lucy in their flat at the baby house. The game was fun to watch, but being with the aunties was a blast-we laughed a TON! Everytime someone would score, Auntie Francinah would blow her vuvuzela and we would all cheer!

Thank you for your prayers! Please continue to pray for forever families to come for our babies.

Love,

Sandra, Mary, and Katherine
