Our Time Here is just about over.

Well this is the last blog post from Majunga. Our plane to Tanna leaves at 1:00 on Wednesday afternoon. It has been interesting and enjoyable time to live in Madagascar for a whole month. We feel like we have been living here longer than a month as we have grown rather comfortable living here. It will be a bit of an adjustment to come back to the states.

Brad needed to go to the bank today to get some cash and he went with Rich and Yves (one of the guys that will run BAO school next year) to get his name put on Rich’s Bank account so that bills can be paid and so forth. Well come to find out the bank needed to update rich’s information on the account as well. So what followed was about 2 hours of chasing around town getting this stamped and that notarized so that everything was official. Brad found it rather interesting since in the States if the bank wants a picture of you they just take a photocopy of your driver’s license or picture Id and it’s all done. No hassle or fuss, over here it just does not work that way. Meanwhile back at the ranch Kim got to watch “Princess Bride” and eat cookies with a few of the students who had come over.

After the mornings adventure Rich invited us out to the beach for a little swim (Everybody but Nick) and eating of sand (Nick). And then the rest of us had dinner later. We were able to see a beautiful sunset over the water and then had a good talk with Rich as our time here comes to a close.

Thanks for all of your prayers and encouragement as we have been on this adventure.
Brad, Kim, Jasmine, Zakary, and Nickolas

Hey neighbors! Today was the first day the computer let me on to your blog. I'm having a hard time with our computer as I've read you have to. I can't believe that your month is already over. We almost been here a week. It's definately a leap of faith coming to a different culture half way around the world. I am learning to lean more on the Lord and trusting in his promise that all things work together for good. We miss you guys and can't wait to see you in December. God bless. You're a huge encoragement and example for Jim and I.
