Our Missionary Apartment

Sunday, October 26

Note:  We haven't posted anything for the past week because of computer problems, but now we're all fixed up.

This is what we traded our Ford Explorer for--a 2010 Kia!  It only has a few bumps and scratches.  We expect to add some to the collection.  The traffic is crazy.

The missionary apartment is on the second floor of this building.  The front door is almost the same design as our screen door at home, only a lot heavier, with a sturdy lock.

This kitchen has everything we need, a stove, frig, microwave, pots and pans and lots of dishes.  I guess now we'll have to cook!  The couple who were here before us left little notes everywhere--even in the oven--explaining how things work.  It's been so helpful.  Our landlady doesn't speak English, but we wave our arms and smile a lot.  She's really a nice lady.  Her son helps translate.

We really hate to brag---but this is our living room.  We can sit here and watch Al Jazeera.  Or church videos.  This apartment is too big for us and has too much "stuff" but we'll try to adapt.  We'll probably be doing some entertaining here.  The Jordanians are very hospitable and friendly.
