From November 5

We are half way through our first week here. I shared yesterday and Ben did today. Both went very well! We have a great translator and the people here are amazing! They are warm-hearted and very kind – especially to Big C. We have 15 students who are all going to be travelling and teaching their own people! Ben and I were just saying yesterday how privileged we feel to be here doing what we are doing. Life is good.
 
Our first few days here we stayed with a super nice couple and now we are in an apartment. There is no heat yet but the apartment is really nice with two bedrooms, an office, two bathrooms and a nice kitchen. We didn’t expect such a great place to be but we are thankful! On the 11th we’ll move to a different place where we will be the rest of our time here. We can’t put up any pictures yet, but when we get home at the end of the month we’ll show you this beautiful place.
 
We can only update the blog from where we are and not anything else, so for the next month this will be Cassie’s blog too. She is doing great, she is sitting up really well on her own and she LOVES the Jolly Jumper that Chris and Lorne lent us. All this travel is getting to her though, she has been waking up at 4:00am since we have gotten here. She goes back to sleep after about 20 minutes, but it is still rough on mom and dad.
 
Hope you are all doing well, time to go finish dinner, and feed Cassie hers.
