Survival Tactics

We are having a great time teaching and building close relationships. The people have been very receptive and they have been asking very good questions. We really feel a part of a huge family with 30+ brothers and sisters. It has been really good getting away from all the busyness back home and spending lots of time in thoughts, reading, and preparing talks. It has been a very rewarding time and I can't believe it has only been almost 3 weeks!

Thing have been great but a few comforts have made things even better:

Yummy...like we said before we eat a lot of vegetables compared to back home. Snacks, vitamins, and good old whey protein keeps us a little closer to the American diet.

A nightly ritual is standing in the corner of the room and killing the mosquitoes as they fly by before bed time with the electric "tennis racquet." Also a daily coating of OFF! has helped keep the little buggers from eating us alive. We used this can from home in about 1 1/2 weeks but luckily found a store that sells it here.

On our list of favorite people are the inventors of the fan and A/C. The climate is very close to home but no central A/C. The units get turned on and off during the day.
