Hi Tim here
The picture is of Sheila and I with little Esther, now an American citizen.
The other day I had to get to the Vocational School before seven. Unbelievable traffic at 6 in the morning. I was following behind 5 chicken buses and the black diesel smoke was so bad I could not see.
Because the sun is up at 5 and it is dark at 7pm the whole country has adapted to the light. At 10:30 PM the place is pretty quiet and at 6 am is very noisy. School starts at 7am.
With the nice days I am still thinking sun until 10, a nice evening fishing at Alison Lake, but no, my life is reading, studying, or watching the idiot box by 7 PM. Hmm may have to change that.
Our bible study is going well. It is all in Spanish so is great listening practice. Just discovered that the dealership where we purchased our vehicle belongs to someone in our study group. Another couple were connected with Deb and Ernie in the choosing of plants for the William Cornelius. Another fellow is an agronomist working on special fertilizers and I will be touring with him at some point looking for synergistic ideas for the William Cornelius. One couple just gave us an NIV Spanish new testament on disk, so now we can read our Spanish NIV's and listen to the tape.
Found a classified ad section for musical instruments. Flutes sell in the local music store for 4800 Q and in the classified there is one for 800 Q. Anyone wanting to buy this for the Vocational School Music program should drop us an email.

Purchased a 5 piece drum set and extra cymbal and stand. Still need saxophones, flutes, clarinets etc.

Have a hundred zucchinis growing in the garden. All the extras will be going to the kids at the school to take home.

I am working hard at Spanish every morning with tapes, flash cards, book exercises, reading and trying to talk Spanish during the work day. It is a 5 year challenge for sure.


Well by for now.
Tim
