Third world internet...

Hey friends and family, We wanted to update you, as it has been officially 3 weeks since we have landed in Peru. Unfortunately our internet is beyond slow, if working at all, so at the moment I cant upload any photos to blogspot, i can upload them to facebook, but not everyone facebooks... and we have hit a wall as far as uploading addresses to hotmail... we have a typed out list of all our contacts, but cannot seem to get them into our saved contacts on email, which is very frustrating as we need to send out a mass email to our friends, and family that support us... But aside from all the technical difficulties, we are doing great. We got hit with sickness as soon as we got here, the altitude sickness was intense for just me.. I had bad vertigo, with dizziness, the whole nine yards! Everyone else did fine adjusting to the altitude, then Brodin our oldest got sick, and so did the baby, Colton. Two down, and then mama gets a very bad sinus infection, just when we thought we were all recovering, the girls start coughing at night, this lasted for a few days.. just coughing and snotty noses, and then London our third child, starts puking, everywhere, all day. Six days later she is better, and our family is on the road to being normal..whew! God is good in the midst of our sickness! We love it here, love the people, the bible college, the life. It is so humbling, so amazing to be called to such a beautiful place. We are adjusting, slowly to doing things very different. Our cooking isn't fast, our laundry isn't fast, nothing is really fast. This is the biggest change... not bad, just different. :) There are days where my poor planning has forced us to have quick dinners, with whatever we have laying around... and thats ok my kids are fed :) Or poor planning has led to laundry not dry :) We will get the hang of it all, in the mean time we are working on getting faster internet, our landlord flies in from Lima on sunday, he will then discuss faster options with us so that we can work from home, as well as upload photos and skype.
