After 3 days of being cooped up in the hotel - I finally got out today. Scott got off work early and we went to a mall. The entire mall had clothes, a small household section, and a grocery store on the top floor - almost a superwalmart - well not quite. They had quite a bit of stuff and mostly I was just looking to see what they had so I wouldn't have to buy it. Ragu was the equivalent of $6 a jar - but that is an US import and probably not as much demand as for basics. Their produce section was quite varied.
After that we went to the house of some Christian Americans that have a ministry over there. Another family joined us for Pizza Hut. They each had 3 kids (2 boys and 1 girl in each family). The girls were 7 and almost 4 and they loved to dress up. They wanted to know all about our girls and couldn't understand why we didn't have a boy. On of them said she would pray that we had a boy.
I am planning on going back tomorrow - one of the ladies can't go out with her kids - but another lady from their ministry is coming for lunch - and I will be able to meet her. Scott has an appointment at 3:30 with a person from HR - so hopefully we will have some answers tomorrow.
I will post more as I have time. Please leave comments and questions - I would love to hear from you all.

Things are going well with the children. No problems. Joanna got her letter of to Joshua so she is excited about writing her first letter. I forgot to tell you yesterday that the school dvd was messed up and about half way through it started with a Battle star Galactia episode. We finished up on our own so it worked out ok. Anxious to hear from you again. Love mom
It sounds like you are having fun exploring your new environment. Have you had a chance to look at places where you might live? Do the people that you met have a church? I will keep praying. Have a great time! Paulette
