Fiestas De Navidad
Hello,
Just a quick update to let you know that we are doing great and living Barahona. With Christmas around the corner and the end of the year right on the heels of Navidad, a lot of projects are winding down around here. This has been great because it has given us a chance to ease into things, check out different villages and projects, meet many people and begin to get a feel for where we are. Our Spanish is slowly improving and we are acclimating to the weather (but not the cold cold cold showers!) Currently we are living with a wonderful host family and looking for an apartment and a car. Most likely we will secure those in January but there isn't an official timeline just yet. In case you haven't seen, we did post a slideshow of pictures (in the margin to the right). They begin with us saying goodbye to family and friends, move into pics of our time in San Pedro and then Santo Domingo and then Barahona. We hope to take more soon but haven't had much opportunity. Hopefully we'll get up some pics or a short video of where we're living and what the office, etc, looks like.
Pray for us to continue to settle in. Without a home, language and all of you, we are feeling like we are experiencing a small loss of identity. Perhaps not a loss, more just a misplacement. :) Fortunately everyone is incredibly welcoming and patient with us...we're just longing to speak more gooder Spanish. Anyway, pray for us to continue to settle in.
We love you all very much and cherish emails and comments on the blog. Send them whenever you can!
Love,
M&K

M&K - we continue to pray for you! We love hearing about your adjustment steps and how God is meeting you along the way. Have you begun to dream in Spanish yet?
Blessings! The Chamness family
Hello Hello .... it is so great to hear from you. It took me about 3 blogs before I figured out who the 'M' in M & K was. Marla had to explain it to me of course. It is so great to picture you in your new world. Merry Christmas from the Richey's!
