Hey everybody! Hope things are going great on your side of the world.

Things today have cooled off a little bit. We have started getting a
little rain every now and then (the summer is bone dry but
super-humid, how's that for a riddle?) so we can tell the summer is
starting to wind down. Of course, the winding down process with go
until the end of June, when rainy season will start - and then we'll
have all rain all the time, and not just a drizzle. I can't wait to
see what it's really like!

We've settled in and are now working as English language consultants.
We have 2 classes a day on Monday Wednesday and Friday. Tuesday and
Thursday, we have language lessons with our tutor. It's quickly
becoming clear that learning this language may be one of the hardest
things we've ever done. I'm a bit worried that we don't spend as much
time on it as we would like, but we make due with what we can. We have
a really great tutor, and she's already helped us learn so much!

We miss you all, and think of you often. Plus, we love reading your comments!

Later guys,
M & H

I MISS YOU GUYS!

It's good to hear about how you and I'll pray for you guys more. I'm sure language must be difficult and I hope for the best for you.

Can't wait to see you both in October!

I know that I speak for everyone here state side as I say that we are all praying for you and thinking about you in the aftermath of the cyclone.

God be with you in this time, and I pray that through this unbelievable challenge that you will be all the more able to shine his light.

Love,

I never know how accurate the news is by the time it gets here, but it sounds like you guys are having a rough time... to say the least. I figure you may not be able to get online for a while, but I thought I'd leave a comment anyway just to let you know that there are a lot of people in southern Indiana thinking of you and lifting you up daily.
