This is the inaugural posting of Shell Shocked, a blog site chronicling our family's time in Shell, Ecuador. The web address is shell--shocked.blogspot.com. We'd love to hear any comments or tips from experienced bloggers out there!
ORIENTATION UPDATE
We had a good trip out on Sunday. The kids did great on the plane trips-they made good use of their toys, books, and gameboys. We were all pretty exhausted by Sunday evening. Orientation has been good. There's a big group for MAF's orientation. Some are short-termers leaving for their assignment directly from here, some are career (long-termers) who are just beginning their deputation/support raising intineration. And there are some people from MAF programs in other countries (Canada & Netherlands) who are "on loan" to work with MAF-US programs. We've had a lot of "macro" orientation so far- organizational and theological foundations.
The kids are doing well out here. There are lots of other MAF families in the apartments around ours and lots of boys and girls to play with. There's even been a family of boys that live behind the fence out back that have been playing over here with all of the MAF kids. Our childcare worker, Bonni, has been great. Jod and I are pretty thankful for that.
Thanks again to everyone who are supporting us with your prayers, gifts and time/help!! We appreciate you!!
