More pics of Kapsowar

This was our first Sunday morning here. We are all on our way to church. This is the path from the station area to the hospital. The building you see is the Nursing School.

AIC Kapsowar Church. I can't tell you much about the service because I was outside with the girls most of the time. I think there was a translator though for the sermon. 

This is our backyard. One day we came home to Kenyan kids hitting this tree with sticks to get the fruit off. Braelyn decided to help them! Later we learned that they are not suppose to be doing that :)

This is the foundation of a small guest house they are building in our backyard. The next building is a small house for nursing students, and the roof you see beyond the trees is the Rhodes house. They already have the wall ups on the house now. We will have to post more pics soon.

Coming out of our gate of our front yard this is the "field" and basketball court. It is hard to see, but the court is toward the back. It is a nice play for the kids to run and play.

This is heading left out of our gate. The house beyond the trees is the other Jones'.And that tree line is the driveway that goes left to the hospital.

This is looking toward the hospital, the driveway we walk on to get to church, hospital or town.

During the week there are always ladies sitting here at the end of our road selling produce and things.

Ok, I hope to put up more pics soon. It takes a long time to download them here. It has been a little rainy today and yesterday. Not constant, just overcast. Aaron's first few days at the hospital went really well. Thank you for praying. Please continue to pray for us as we adjust to many new things and pray we can build relationships here quickly. Also pray for me as I get used to being a stay at home mom again and try to work out some type of routine for our family. It has been a challenging few days for me. Thanks for your prayers so much.
   Sorry there aren't more pics of girls. They are missing some of the families that left last week. One of there favorite things lately has been splashing in mud puddles after the rains.
   Hope everyone has a good weekend!
