The Lord moved and worked out a way for us to be able to get internet while we are here in the tribe! So in this remote location we are able to stay better connected to family, friends and fluency (okay so that was a stretch, I just needed another word that started with “f” 🙂 ). A church in the States donated the funds for us to be able to purchase a satellite dish and other hardware necessary to connect to the internet.
Already Esther and the kids have talked to Grandparents and parents a couple times. I instant message with my family and have posted several things to Facebook. Homeschooling has been dramatically enhanced. For example, we’ve always seen links to go to and see how things work or to get more information, but we’ve never been able to utilize that before now! Just yesterday we were instructed to do an experiment, but we didn’t have the proper materials to do so. However, the book said, “If you don’t have the proper materials just go to this link to see the results,” and presto the kids we able to see it work!
We are very thankful for this addition to the ministry here and will try to post more often on this blog so perhaps you can get a deeper peek into the lives of tribal missionaries. Of course that may not appeal to everyone, so I’ll try not to post the pictures of all of us eating spiders. Oh wait, there are no pictures like that. Which may have something to do with the fact that we really don’t eat spiders because their hairy legs get stuck in our teeth. It’s worse than popcorn. 🙂
See you around the web. No pun intended with the above spider joke.
