Surviving the Heat

It is hard to believe that we have been back from Kenya for almost two weeks now! Time is just going so fast. We have had to seriously adjust to life back in Indiana...and it has not always been easy! We arrived back to Indiana just in time for a week of 90+ temps and that surprised us! We were coming from cool, rainy Kenya and were used to having a fireplace fire almost every night and even sometime throughout the day. We were not prepared for the heat and humidity that greeted us. We have been surviving the heat one day at a time. It is rough living in an apartment with no AC during these very hot days! Thankfully we have a window unit in the bedroom so we are able to sleep well and not be miserable and hot through the night. Downstairs is another story however! The doors and windows are always wide open and we have several fans going to move the air around. Thankfully we are on a break from the HOT heat right now. It feels so much cooler in the apartment today for which I am very grateful!

Chris has been working since we got back. I'm so thankful he has a job and is able to provide for us! I have been cleaning the apartment after it sat for the three months we were in Kenya and was overtaken by spiders! I have also been working on unpacking and figuring out where the things we brought back from Kenya should go! School starts a week from today, so then our daily schedules will be more defined.

Thank you all for your continued prayers as we adjust back to life in Indiana. We still find ourselves suffering from culture shock every so often. Our hearts are still full and still processing all that we experienced. We will keep you updated as things continue happening in our lives! We appreciate you all!
