First of all, I like the maid service. I could personally live here the whole time we are here but of course it would be way out of the budget....
So I am enjoying the time that we are here now! There are lots of activities for the kids to do here...waterslides, a splash pool, a kiddie pool, kayaking, a kids club....which makes it hard to do schoolwork!! The weather is so nice here...in the 80's and mostly sunny. It rained a few times while we were here, but not for long.
We went to a church this past Sunday and enjoyed the praise and worship and the message....of course it wasn't like Manna and we miss Manna so much! I don't know if we will find a church quite like that out here. I am praying that the Lord will lead us to the right church...even if it doesn't seem like the right one to us.
The girls have been making "friends" while staying here at the resort. I put that in quotes because some of these friends do not speak English and so it is hard to communicate with them...but somehow just playing with them and swimming with them is enough to be a playmate!
Many of the people here, especially in this area where we are staying speak Japanese, Korean, or Chamoru. We have been learning a few simple phrases in these different languages.
The girls are going to AWANA at a Baptist church here. They of course like it a lot and the people there are very friendly. They have a service there for adults and a nursery for the little ones.
I am enjoying all that God has blessed us with while we are here...I haven't cooked in a while and haven't had to clean up very much as the maids do a wonderful job of coming to the room almost everyday...
We are still house hunting and will hopefully find a place soon. In the meantime, I am enjoying this place so much and trying to get myself ready for the "real" world soon!
Well just wanted to stop here and say Hafa Adai (hello in Chamoru) and Adios for now. I will update again as the Lord leads....much love and prayers to you all!
