I'm still here...

...Just fighting with slow internet.

!!!!

But it's surprisingly going "fast" this morning... Let me try to upload a pic so ya'll know that I haven't lost weight. In fact I'm getting fat!

I love you all!

Here is Hulda, Freddy, me and Sifa

Now you know I'm not starving to death...

love,
Bethany

All is Well

Happy New Year! 2010.

It's still weird for me to write... I continue to write out 2009 instead of the proper year...

Apparently so do Immigration officials here in Beni.

We have a team here from North Carolina right now... They arrived on Saturday and they stay for a week. They got their passports and visas back from Immigration on Sunday. On Monday, an official called Kaza here, to tell him a mistake was made on all twelve of the visitors' visas...

Instead of writing January 10, 2010 - they wrote 2009. On their VISAS!

So, yesterday and today, we've worked to get them corrected.

I guess I'm not the only one having a hard time remembering the correct year. Thankfully, it's not as important for me to remember as it is for some!
