Our first snake story!

My greatest fear came to life the other night as a stood on the chair taking this picture of a 2 foot coral snake in our neighbor's house. Our door is right next to theirs but fortunately for us our screen door shuts tighter! This snake is probably quite poisonous although its small and not real aggressive. I thought missionaries rarely see snakes? Hopefully this is the last one for a while!

Weekend at the Hot Springs!

There was a Japanese Garden next to our Resort that had beautiful ponds, gardens, and best of all monkeys!

We enjoyed a 3 day get away to Caldas Novas this weekend. We were able to stay in the apartment of a friend of a friend for a very reasonable price. The resort was really nice. There were 5 pools all heated with natural hot water from underground. The kids loved it, and it was a much needed break for all of us!
