House Pics



Sorry that we have not updated lately, we have been without internet. So glad to finally be connected!! Here are the most recent pictures of the house here in Sudan and the meeting tukel. The workers say the house should be completed within three weeks. We are so ready to get out of the one room house we are in now.
Things are going well with us. We are getting a little homesick and missing friends and family. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers!

Ground Breaking!

   Yeah, the trucks have arrived with the supplies to start on the house!  We heard a big truck enter the camp last night around 10pm. This morning the crew and supplies headed to our compound and have been busy.

Language

   We are now learning the Toposa language. We have a language helper that comes everyday for about three hours. We are doing pretty well with the basic words but not so well with conversations. The boys are picking up the language, too.  Walker loves to say "mata", which is hello, to everyone he sees. Everyone laughs at him and word has made it around town that he can speak Toposa. He loves the attention!
