We made it!

I (MP) just realized it's been over a month since we last posted anything... wow! We sure have been busy these last few weeks. We ended out time well in Canada---saying good-byes (yet again), packing, and enjoying some time with our supervisors who are Stateside at the moment. Our flight to our city was long and not as restful as we had hoped, but it made us even more thankful to have a place to rest once we landed!
We were met warmly at the airport by some friends who helped us get all our bags into a taxi and make it to our temporary new home. Jet lag was rough, but (finally!) we are all recovering. Haley did great transitioning to her newest location, and is still getting used to being treated like a little movie star when we go around town.
Since we are on the coast, the weather has been breezy and beautiful. We hear that we will get spoiled during these "winter" months in our city and that the heat is just around the corner. For now, we are enjoying the 80 degree temps while we can!
On Monday we begin language study, so please remember us before the Father. It will be more difficult than we first anticipated. Our language is called Telugu, and is primarily spoken only in our state. Anyway, that's all we have for now...here are a few photos for you to see what our new town is like!

Early morning with Haley and Daddy

Our feet get a little dirty here :)

View from the rooftop

Our new language...looks fun, right?

We are about 1/4 mile from the beach!

Main road

First dinner in India. Yes, that is Kraft Macaroni and Cheese!

Notice the sign above MP's head. We are definitely in the right place :)

A star is born. It is especially exciting if a local child can "pose" with her.
