Beginning Week Three

Well we’ve been outback for a week - no internet service for over a week - I’m going crazy!! Sorry for not being able to keep you updated.

Willie finished his second week and they’re drywalling the inside rooms and hope to be painting real soon. There is a large crew out this week so we’ll see how successful things are.

If you want more ‘updates’ on the building you’ll have to call Willie - he says he’s a more verbal person - not a virtual person like me! I’ll give you some basics but I don’t know all the specifics.

I don’t know how to answer the comments on the blog so I’m sorry if you’re asking questions and I can’t answer... I’ll try to email you personally.

A few answers:

Our mailing address until December 13th is
Willie & Jacquie Friesen
c/o MDS
P.O. Box 272
Newton, Texas 75966

Please feel free to send mail up until December 5th... I think after that it just might not get here in time before we move on. We will have a new address come January through to the time we return home.

The kids are still crazy and so is their mom! We’re having a great time but we are missing our playdates and all the regular things at home... familiar faces instead of new ones every week. We have so appreciated the Glenn family here at the camp and will enjoy being with them until we have to move on.

We are struggling with training our little spitfire... I knew it would be a challenge but being away from home makes it more difficult for me. Our bathroom area is super small and well I just don’t really like hanging out close to the potty all day... but I realize I need too because I’ve washed a lot of Tinker Bell panties the last day! Maybe I shouldn’t give up after one day but I feel like a quitter right about now...

The nights are getting super cold so for all of you that are jealous - don’t be. It’s cold here too. No snow but cold. As you see in the pictures my Christmas decorating has been kept to a minimum but it’s still making us feel festive...

We spend Tuesday mornings at the Newton Library and we LOVE it. It’s great to watch Samuel in a learning environment and he’s doing so well. The children’s librarian is so sweet and so fun to listen to.

Anyway it’s time to head to the dining hall for supper... take care. Love you all.
