Friday was Wilf and Kristen's birthday! We spent most of the day unpacking and organizing the house but we took a break around dinner time and went to the local pool. Lia and Nico brought along a wonderful birthday dinner and even presents for Wilf and Kristen.
This pool was built just recently and is a very new thing for a town like this. It is really nice and thankfully it is very close to our house! We hope to visit it quite often as there doesn't seem to be a lot of recreational things to do around town.
There is a smaller heart shaped pool that is great for kids and a much larger pool with a deep end and a bridge to jump off of.
I wanted to try to show the surroundings of this pool because it can look like the town is really exotic :) The pool is like an oasis in the midst of dirt roads, cow pastures and run down and unfinished homes. It looks really out of place, but we are very thankful for it!

Nice pictures! Lauren looks so adorable. I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures, and talking more to you about it all! The pool looks nice, I'm glad you have something like that for a bit of a treat now and then.... I'm sure your kids will make great strides in their swimming that way! We're praying for you everyday!
Happy Birthday, Wilf and Kris! It was so nice to talk to you today, Shar...it makes me feel like you are closer when I can just call you anytime! Andrew loved talking to Brad too, and to his friend "Meatball" (Nico, that is--there was some breakdown in the communication, and it seems he heard his name wrong...)
Love you all!
Wow, the pool looks like fun! And your house looks nice too. Thanks for posting the pics--keep them coming. It is nice to see how things are down there. How's the weather?
Happy Birthday Wilf and Kristin!! We love you guys and we are keeping you in our prayers each day! If we didn't know better, the pictures would make it look like you are on vacation! It looks beautiful there! We pray that the Lord will use you mightily, and that your family would also grow closer to Him through this experience! Keep the pictures coming- and if you have an address that we can send you things, let us know! We would love to send you a care package- would you get it, are there any worries of it being taken in the mail? Love you guys. Hope you are not homesick and that you are adjusting well!
Oops, that last post was from Sarah and Dan and boys!
Happy Birthday Wilf and Kristen!! We already miss you greatly, but we know that the Lord has called you to this great commission. We have been and will keep praying for you every day. We love you all so much:)
Thank you so much for the pictures. It looks like the compound at at least is very nice and its great to have a pool and the trampoline for the kids to enjoy. We're looking forward to seeing you in NOv. D.V.
Love, Mom and Dad
