A Day Out of Bed...Finally!

Today was a GREAT day! We are starting to feel so much better, even giving our stomachs a big test with pizza tonight... no problems yet! Although we are still a little weak, we ventured out into the city with Wendy for about an hour and it was nice to have a change of scenery from our bedroom. Tonight Kendon & Wendy invited us into their home to have pizza and watch a movie. How wonderful it was to have fellowship with a family and hear English for awhile! God is truly blessing us through this couple, and in so many other ways as well. We plan to head to Antigua for language school tomorrow!

Our evening dose of medication... and boy are we thankful for it!

Our first big adventure out since Thursday -- a trip to the grocery store with Wendy to buy a week's worth of food for the children's home. It was a lot of food -- two heaping cart loads! I took this picture of the raw meats section because the smell and look of it was quite a test for our recovering stomachs. Shortly after, Wendy informed me that the store owners do not like people taking pictures because they think they might be shown to their competition (... and their competition can't visit the store themselves??)

It was great to feel well enough to do a load of laundry today! It took a long time to get everything hung on the clothesline... and then take it all down again 20 minutes later due to an approaching thunderstorm. I guess I should learn from the example of the children -- they wash and hang their clothes to dry at 6 AM! We are in the rainy season right now so, most mornings are clear and the afternoons have scattered showers. We sure wish that we could send some of this rain to the ranch, Dad Harris!
