The Wonderful World of Skype

One of the things that helps keep Nathaniel and I from getting too homesick in Honduras is the ability to talk to people on Skype. It has been so great to not only hear people's voices, but also see their faces on almost a daily basis. If any of you out there don't yet have Skype, please get it, and add us to your contact list! Our skype name is Danielsdevotion.

During one conversation with Nathaniel's parents, I was able to take this snapshot:



And yes, that is a Halo on top of Merd's head. She had recently purchased one for herself and her granddaughter, Bekah, and wanted to show it off.


In other news, we recently received a care package from our friends back home at Touch of Fire Fellowship. It had (as requested) 8 lbs. of peanut butter in it! Peanut butter is so expensive down here, so we asked them to throw some in for us. We didn't know it would be that much, though! Here is a picture of Nathaniel with the jars:



They also threw in some books, homemade cards from the kids, and Jelly Belly's for me! That day, I ate a few too many. Here is the before:



And the after:



The weather here has been considerably cooler the last couple of days as we officially head into rainy season. It makes me really in the mood for some fall traditions: Spiced apple cider, candy corn, and changing leaves. Although, fall means winter, and I don't think Ill miss Indiana winter too much. :) More to come next week!
