Finally Here

After 3 years of preparing, raising support, and language learning, we are finally here. We arrived in Bujumbura August 31st, and as always, we have been busy settling in to a new home, and a new culture.
Since we've gotten to Burundi, we've started school, done surgery on a rabbit, and found and lost our pet chameleon.

It's amazing how much Kibuye has changed. There is a new schoolhouse, an almost completed new church, and multiple new hospital wards. As for our missionary compound there are a lot of new houses, lots of new families. There are 13 school aged children this year, a couple younger children, and there's always someone out playing. It's a great community.
