I'm going to attempt to give you little glimpses of what it is like living here. One thing is that there are kites everywhere all the time. It's really fun to go out your front door and see about 10 kites up in the sky...and I mean way up too. These people must have 2-mile string. :)
I did my first few loads of laundry today in my new washer. It's a great washer...better than mine back in the states because the top of it has a window so I can see exactly what it is doing at all times. I then hung it all up to dry and it dries really quickly, so that's nice.
This morning Grady and I had a little outing, just us. We walked to the corner bakery and had some breakfast and read our Bibles and prayed. It was nice. Most churches around here have Sunday School type classes in the mornings and then regular church service at night. Priscilla went with some friends of ours this morning. We are going to try to go somewhere tonight.
While me and Grady were gone, Asa was sleeping and Joel and Hadley cleaned the floors. Floor cleaning is different around here...you just dump water and squeegee it out. :) Convenient.
Yesterday was nice. We got almost all the rest of the necessities we need for now. Then we went to the "cheese on a stick place" to eat supper...mmm! Obviously it's not actually called that. I don't know what it is called. But, they have shishkabob type things there...lots of different kinds of meat on skewers. But, my favorite thing is balls of provolone cheese on skewers grilled...oh so yummy.
Alright, just a glimpse of what's going on in our neck of the woods. More later.

Love the updates! Glad you all found a great home for the next year! Can't wait till you post pics of Brasil! :) You've been in our prayers!
Hi, just heard that you're finding things very expensive. Have you considered going to Goiania to Lojas Americana. That store was large and cheaper than many others in the city. Trust its still there. have your crates arrived? Love you, Mum
crates have not arrived. the word now is that the ship will arrive the 22nd at santos, so not sure when they will get to us...who knows. thankfully we are doing fine without them. :) we went to lojas americana yesterday actually, here in anapolis. we got some plates there, and a fan. pots and pans are the main thing that we've looked at that are more expensive than we knew and we can actually hold off on that for a while...we need some kid gear like high chairs and a walker or something for asa, but those are super expensive and we may just have a wooden high chair made or something and we'll just make do like we have been. thanks. kites - haven't seen them up close, but they look to be bought. not sure though.
