Sorry it has been so long since our last post - life, electricity, rain, blah, blah! We are in the middle of raining season and it has been a bad one. We are having more rain than last year and it creates such havoc. The roads are deteriorating rapidly so driving is a nightmare. The potholes are sometimes a foot deep and 1-2 feet wide! Driving is definitely an off-road adventure not for the faint of heart! We are thankful that rainy season only comes once a year - I don't think the country could handle more than that. Electricity has been another major issue. We haven't had it so bad, until now. September has had 57 hours of no power so far! The stretches are getting longer - last night it was off from 6 pm until 2 am! Rough for sleeping with no air movement. We are in the process of getting our battery sources set up, so that will help at least with some fans and air moving. Getting laundry done for 17 sweaty people is a whole other issue!!
School is really underway, with all of the sports and school activities. Zach continues to love being in the dorm and Luke has recently told us that he wants to be in the dorm next year.
We recently went on a staff retreat to Saly - our resort town. It was so nice and relaxing. We left the kids here and were so blessed to be able to hang out and swim and relax.
Luke just got braces - top and bottom. He has had a little trouble adjusting to those - cheeks being sore, spots on his tongue from rubbing, no chewy candy, sore teeth. But we are really hoping that they fix his teeth - the orthodontist is really knowledgeable and we really like her!
I am going to post this while we still have electricity - will catch up on other photos soon! Miss you all!
