Everybody keeps asking us when we will start school with the kids. I decided that since most of the unpacking was finished that it was time to start today. Still have a couple boxes of odds and ends to sort. We ran out of gas today, so we'll switch the fridge to electric instead of gas. Time to start cooking over the open fire again. The chief and his wife built us a nice place to cook under the house.

So quiet now that the neighborhood kids are all back in school. We received some electrical cords yesterday when the Bikoi stopped at Marulaon, so now the radio (and hopefully e-mail) works! We were literally trying to put a square peg into a round hole. Made some flashcards and Sarah drew pictures to practice language learning with the kids as part of our school day. I selfishly chose foods so I can practice for market on Wednesday. Barnabas has stopped by a couple of times today. He brought some faluk (greens), and I asked him to stop by later to try them on top of pizza. Barnabas is an older man on the translation committee and Katherine absolutely adores him.
