Well, okay, this isn’t really going to be an update on everything<\/i>, but pretty close.<\/p>\n

First of all, pictures of Kenya<\/a> are now in the Photo Gallery.  If you checked it before tonight (Thursday the 17th of July in the Year of Grace 2008), you haven’t seen them all.  Of course, you still haven’t seen them all<\/i>, but I’m not going to post any more right now.  So be content.<\/p>\n

These of course include photos of the wedding of Nate Kidder and Amy Winger<\/a><\/b>.  Don’t miss it.<\/p>\n

\"Amy<\/center>
You’ll also find a few photos of the English classes<\/a> that have been going on this week in Ixtapaluca.  The ones I took pictures of feature some interns from the USA at our church here, so you can see a bit of what our church looks like inside too.  (If you want to see more interns and more activities, see Rod’s blog<\/a>)<\/p>\n

In other news, we continue to work on getting the house more functional.  As of this week, we have bulbs and not just wires hanging from the ceiling, which is kind of cool (no light fixtures, just bulbs hanging from wires.  But they’re nice<\/i> wires.).  We’ve also done more to try to keep water out of the house.<\/p>\n

However, guess what Shari and I were doing tonight?<\/b>  That’s right.  Moving things and mopping up and running for towels, after discovering a new leak<\/b> in the kitchen.  How many more leaks will we find?  I just wish the water would leak out<\/i> as easily as it leaks in<\/i>!<\/p>\n

Also hampering our efforts this week are these migraine symptoms that have been waxing and waning since Sunday.  Today I spent a good part of the day in bed.  But I’m hoping the worst is over.<\/p>\n

To end on a brighter note, yesterday we had a brief but good visit from some of the Downs family<\/a> from Cuernavaca.  It’s always good to have visitors (when are you<\/i> coming?).  We also continue to get to know our neighbours.  And we’ve gotten some good help and encouragement from the Fry family.  We also enjoyed going to some activities this week – as you see in the gallery I poked my head in a few English classes, and also enjoyed a prayer meeting.  Shari went to a ladies’ meeting (can you say that still?  What’s PC<\/a> – women’s<\/i> meeting?  Girls’ morning?) too.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’d better go check for leaks – bye for now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
