Weekly update

June 23, 07
Dear Family,
Here is our weekly formal update for all you. It has been an exciting week.
We got our computer up and running for radio email. That has been the best part of this week.
We have had a man working that is good with cement so he has been plastering and doing the finishing work on our cement walls downstairs. It is looking so nice. I didn't think it could ever look this nice so I am very relieved. I thought it would always look like an old broken-put-back-together puzzle wall. Now it looks almost as good as new. After we paint, it will look very nice. Of course paint is very far down the list right now. Our outhouse still doesn't have zinc on the roof. Since
it has been raining almost every hour, it is challenging to find a good time to go to the bathroom!
Bethany's hair is growing from the chopping it received.
Clint has an appointment to get his resident visa on JULY 24. Since that is still a long time away, he will make a trip to Managua this week to his passport and old id card back. He will also use this trip to buy some things that important that we can save a lot of money to get in Managua.
It rained most of the week. We can't hang our laundry outside because it never dries. The water is also getting colder so I am starting to work on Clint for a hot water heater. Of course right now we don't have running water so he is not worried about it and just waves me off. But he took his bath this morning when he woke up at 4:45 and he agreed it was cold.
More later
Love
Marilyn
