Hello! We are doing well and we hope and pray that you are as well! We are getting quite far in our painting of the school. It isn’t quite looking like we thought it would, but it is nice. Apparently, color charts here are not as accurate as they are in the states. Also, just because two kinds of paint have the same number does not mean that they are actually the same color. In this picture, you can see the Administration Building, the brown color on the bottom and the pink color on the
walls are supposed to be the rust brown color. They are also supposed to be the same color. We are just happy that it looks nice. We are undecided on if we want to use blue for the shutters or the dark brown color. We are going to test them both and see if which one we like more. While we are doing that, the workers have begun digging the foundation for the dormitory. In this picture, you can see the trench they have dug, and the stakes they have put in. They are going to pour cement up to the top of the stakes, then begin putting blocks on top of that. Everything is built of block here, and done by hand, so it is interesting to watch. We are enjoying being here very much. Thank you again for your prayers and support. We miss you!

James and Joy,
I hope Joy is a name in the public domain. I usually call Kristie Kristie, but you keep calling her Joy and it's rubbing off. If not, chastise me. The painting looks great! I'm glad you put the dark brown on the bottom. Somebody's got an eye. You're a pair of hard working elves, keep it up. Currently in the painting business myself, it's my understanding you're supposed to mix all the paint together so that you end up with a uniform color; and that's in the U.S.! Maybe next time.
Speaking about blending in, I don't see James and Joy in brightly colored African clothes. Abraham says, "Those are afghans." I tell him, "No, they only wear those in Afghanistan!" So he says, "Well then they're Afkhans."
You're going to have to straighten us out on the matter. Pictures are nice. I can't say I've seen enough James and Joy pictures. In fact, I've seen no Joy pictures. Where's the Joy?
Thanks for blogging. I'll visit again to hear more.
I just read the news about your dad. I'm so sorry to hear that. We know that must be very hard for you to not be able to see him now. But the Lord knows and he will take care of all of you. We're praying for you. We just moved to our new apartment in San Dimas. It's so nice! The painting looks great, even if the color was a surprise. That's a funny story. We love and miss you guys! Becca
