Update on Wall and Adjusting

Posted on behalf of Cindy from an email:

The prayers for the wall are being answered, as we studied in small group in Nehemiah. It is raining too much to do a lot every day. Hopefully it will be finished next week. We are definitely not settled yet. It is AMAZING how difficult even the simplest things are here - like getting some bread (go buy flour, borrow bread pans, spend 2 days trying to buy an oven, wait for 3 days for SIM to cut a check to the oven merchant, have someone drive you to ask the merchant who to make the check to, later find out they didn't give you the full name and the check process is on hold for another day to see if it goes through, wait for another missionary to loan you his van and a driver to pick up the oven, then bring it in the house just to find out that the wires do not have a plug and require an electrician to wire it directly into the house's 220v system, then try to connect the gas component just to find out that the butane tank on the outside of the house is empty, then borrow another driver to take you and the tank to fill it up and find out that you don't have enough $, and the SIM finance office is only open for 2 hrs for cash wd Mon am, Weds pm, and Fri am, so you're out of luck and $ for another 2 days, not to mention out of gas and without bread). This is all part of the "Anthis Family Adventure" that we are getting used to. But getting "settled" is totally different than anything I have done before in every conceivable way.
