Today I finally got to go shopping. I was encouraged by the number of American items I found, but it was mighty disheartening when I found out that Pricemart no longer carries Cream of Mushroom Soup. Now I will have to go back to making my own. :-(
It has been good to have the Jacobos here. We are trying to cram as much information into their heads as we can in the few weeks they are here. Today I took Abigail to see different places to buy furniture and household items. They are not sure at this time where they will be living when they come here so a lot can change, but at least she will have a good idea on what is available and what she will need to bring.
Snuggles is doing good. He learned how to get out of his box last night. When we woke up this morning there were several surprises on our floor. He doesn't like to do anything in his bed, but he has no problem using the floor.
Today while we were shopping I had the distinct honor of rolling over my heel while I was pulling the shopping cart behind me. It hit it so hard that it took my shoe off. It takes much coordination to do something like that. Needless to say, my foot hurts a lot. I am hoping that I will be able to walk a little better tomorrow
Adelaida, a lady in our church, is pregnant and about 7 months along. She has been having a hard time finding someone to watch her 3 year old son while she goes to her doctor's appointments. I volunteered to watch him and I think that they were so surprised and pleased with my offer. Adelaida has three living children, has had one stillbirth, and had one baby that lived for a few hours. The doctors are keeping a close eye on her. This means that she has to travel the hour and a half by bus to and from the city once a week and spend most of the day with ultrasounds and tests. We praise the Lord that everything is going good at this time and please pray that everything would continue to stay good.
