Well after a 5.7 earthquake that crumbled some concrete in our bathroom I am feeling really ready to move. Yesterday, we took one load of our things the 1 hr and 15 minutes up to Casa Esperanza. The drive was about 30 minutes shorter than I was expecting and the house was about twice as furnished as I expected. They now have a monkey for a pet, we met 4 more great people that we will be working with and received another tour of the gardens and greenhouse, so all in all it was a very exciting and informative day. We are still doing chorus coughing around the house - otherwise I'd say our life was A material... but as I hear those coughs inch toward Dru and Jude's lungs I want to petition a bit of pray... especially considering the upcoming climate change. (It will be cooler though!)
Anyway, we are off to pick up final necessities, attempt to PDF the world wide web, say goodbye to a few friends, and close up this house. I don't know when I'll write again but I am sure Jarod will check the email anytime he gets down this way. Hope you all have a great summer... and don't forget to write.
If you want to check out more about the area and some of the people we will be getting to know you could visit:

Oh and here are some photos of our last outing with our friends the McCanns .... seems like we are always leaving something wonderful.... but that must mean there is more wonderful things to come.
And again we are working with: Jason and Sarah Furrow at www.givehope2kids.org
