Okay, everyone has been asking where we are living and when will get into our house. We are posting pictures of where we are living now, the land where our house will be and a "little friend" that came to visit us the other night.
We are living at Mango camp which is about 8 kilometers from where we will be living. We have electricity, running water, internet and great food. The staff at the camp is wonderful and have made us feel at home. In the picture of the house we are staying in you can see Walker swimming in a tub that the workers found for him to play in.
You can see the water tower on the land and the clearing that has been done. The house should be well on its way to Sudan. The papers were cleared and the trucks left Nairobi on Wed. We can't wait!!! Once the house and materials arrive on site, the company says it will take approximately 8 weeks to complete.
The last picture was taken approximately 20 minutes prior to this blog. It is a puff adder (zebra snake) hanging out at Mango camp. The armed security guard killed him with a rock. Now, the kids understand the importance of carrying a flashlight at all times. If anyone knows where you can get a mongoose, we would love to buy one!
Many answers to prayer: Walker has an amazing nanny, we have found language tutors and begin on Monday, the house is on its way, homeschool is going well and God has provided friends for all of us! What an amazing God we serve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way, GEAUX TIGERS!

Shannon and Carrie,
We are so excited about what God is doing in and through you. I wanted to let you know that the Lord has led Norris Ferry Church to adopt you as our first ever missionary family. We don't really know what that means yet other than it is our way of letting you know that we love you are are committed to staying in touch with you and praying for you. Please let me know how we can best send you emails, letter, care packages, etc. We love you and thanks for giving us an opportunity to participate in sharing Christ with the nations through you!
Love your friend and brother in Christ,
Tracy Graham
So happy to see the pictures of the boy's. They look so happy! Sounds like God is taking good care of all of you. Hope language school goes good. Kiss the boy's for me and call when you can.
