Well, we are starting to get settled in, and having a great time. We all think the days go so fast, yet we don't seem to do all that much, I guess it just takes extra time to figure out all of the "little" things when living in a foreign country! For instance, last night we both were nervous about taking the first shower, because there is NO water pressure. So Jen went first, and said "hey Stac, look at this" I came in to find like 10 drops of water falling from the shower head!! "NO WAY" I said, "no one would rent this place, if that is all the water there is!" Then we remembered that the apartment manual we skimmed over said something about bad water pressure, I wonder what they say to do about it?? So we decided to actually READ the whole thing, and come to find out, there is a switch, outside to turn on the pump! YEAH!! So I had Dylan find and flip the switch, and I heard Jen scream, so I thought she was excited that it worked!! When I got upstairs she was cleaning up the water that had sprayed EVERYWHERE, because when the pump was turned on it had so much pressure, it blew the shower head right off the spout!!! We also found out that since Antigua is such an old city, you can't flush the toiletpaper down the toilet~ OOPS! Well we won't any more! We also read that the front door locks automatically!! When we went to the pool yesterday we left it open, and Dylan was adament that we take the keys, so he took them for us! Good thing!! That could have been bad as our phones and contact info was all inside, and you can't break in for goodness sake, it takes 10 min. just to lock and unlock all the doors and gates!! I have never felt more safe!! So the lesson we learned today, is always read the manual, right away! It could save a few headaches!!
I am posting some pictures, but none of the baby, as we still have not gotten that birth certificate!!

Good Morning, Lord Jesus,
We thank you for a brand new morning in Hart and ANTIGUA. Your mercy and glory is afresh to us this morning. Lord, please put your hand on Stacy and the boys and keep them safe. Lord, help them all to fall in love with Anaya and to treasure the firsts they share. We ask you, again, Jesus, that today would be the day that you release Anaya from the hold binding her to Guatemala and allow her to come home to the family who will love her endlessly. Please reunite the VanderZwaag's quickly. I pray that in this time that Stacy would recognize your presence and leading. That she would sense the times to speak and the times to be silent. We ask you for a growth in wisdom and knowledge in her that can only be credited to you. (Like Daniel!) We love you, Jesus, and we ask these things because of your sacrifice and in your name. :)
Keeping you before the throne again today Stacy! Go swim for me! We have FROST on the ground.
