| Malagasy man that Andy was able to meet |
The Lord is developing in us a love for the people here. We appreciate, more & more, who God as made them to be. The Malagasy are usually always smiling, very friendly, polite, ingenuitive, and willing to help.
A story to illustrate:
Saturday night, our upstairs faucet in our tub broke. When Ruth was filling up a bucket with water in order to fill the washing machine, of course) the rusty pipe snapped in two and water was shooting out of the wall! Fortunately, Andy was able to shut the water off pretty quickly. Andy & our night guard (Tolotra) tried to figure out how to shut off the water to just the upstairs, but they were unable to. Thankfully, we live next door to a plumber! Around 10 pm, Tolotra was standing on the outdoor sink trying to get our neighbor’s attention. Though we had woken up our neighbor, he was very pleasant & helpful. Not only did he help us with our immediate problem that night, but he came back Sunday morning to finish fixing the faucet.

This month has been busy with reacclimating to life here in Mada; we started back to language class with a 2 month-old and the ‘big kids’ started French school. It has also been a challenging month for us as we miss our family & friends back in America. Each of us (except for Alleluia) has been going through some culture shock at one time or another, adjusting to our new normal here & the stresses involved. But one thing remains the same: our God is always with us, is faithful & gracious to us every step of the way!
