Aaron and some of the representatives from the translation committeeOur internet has been coming on for about 10 minutes every two or three days, and we really don't like not being able to stay in touch with family and friends. However, we are very thankful for the times we CAN be in touch across the ocean. Aaron is planning to go back out to Marulaon next weekend. He spent today pricing things like washing machines and batteries. I'm working on menus and buying food for our first stay - hopefully sometime in early April. Here are some observations from Aaron:
-Lots of people singing throughout the day
-Church was held primarily in Lavukaleve, so exciting!
-A market meets twice a week on a neighboring island
-Petrol (gasoline) is about $7/liter on Marulaon
-The house is in great shape to have sat empty for so long (what a blessing), yet there is lots of work left to be done before we will take the family out
-Rats think that abandoned ovens make cozy homes when lined with Ziplock bags
Thanks for your patience while we wait for the internet connection to be fixed. We look forward to more regular communication soon and regularly being able to post pictures.
