Not much time to write. We have been here a week and are a little limited, not having Internet at home and having had a very busy week (accomplishments were made: we went up 2,500 feet and back down in a taxi to get our washing machine, we have successfully eaten yummy salteƱas without making a mess, Anne has ordered ice cream (helados) for herself and Avery, we have groceries, we know where to get lightbulbs and really good cheap bread, and neither of us has died from altitude sickness), and we praise the Lord!
The staff here is awesome, as are the people of Bolivia. Avery, age three, loves the taxi rides down the mountain road from el Central to our apartment in Achumani. Anne is a trooper and is determined to try her… basic but growing… Spanish a little every day.
We start school stuff tomorrow and the kids come in a week.
I think we may have found just the place to get online until we get it in our apartment, so we should be posting more, really soon!
Grace and Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Comment and email often, and be patient with us if you leave us a voice mail on our Skype. We will get on and call back really soon (really soon in Bolivia Time, that is – wink!)

Comment by Jay August 7, 2007 @ 1:03 pmThis is the perfect venue for you.. sort of a 3-D public journal thing that catches all the crazy/funny things that happen to (or is it because of) you… I think I get to be the first one from Catawba Ave to say “welcome to your new home” – The hood just isn’t the same without you!
We are so glad you made it! Can’t wait to hear about your first day of school!
Comment by Chris, Lee, Ada, & Cullen August 8, 2007 @ 3:42 pmTom and Anne-
It is good to hear that you made it! You all will be in my prayers.
Love- Jenny
