New things

I now have a new, used, car.  We got a Mitsubishi Montero Sport.  I really enjoy driving a big car again.  We just hope everything is ok with it.  It was a craigslist car and you can only know so much without driving it for a while.  It has the check engine light on so I am taking it in tomorrow.  It will probably need some new tires as well, but we have to do one thing at a time. 

We have found the house we want and are currently processing everything.  It takes forever because the government has to give us the money to do everything.  We have all the papers signed and just have to go to housing to have them give us the new money.  The house is awesome we were over there today and realized there is a papaya tree, mango tree, breadfruit tree, citrus tree,  and avocado tree.  On top of all of those amazing trees the yard is amazing and has so many beautiful things growing in it.  The inside is very nice.  It has 4 bedrooms and a nice sized living room.  The kitchen is great, except the lack of dishwasher.  There are 2 bathrooms inside and a half bath outside.  The outside bathroom is cool, because bbq's are the thing here.  We have a great side porch with cover and lots of space for such great events as bbq's.  I will get you more pics once we have the keys and are moving in. 

Last night we had the opportunity to go out to eat with a friend Greg knew.  He brought his family along with us and they were spectacular.  The wife was so friendly and the 3 girls were adorable.  I got to hold the baby while I ate and she fell asleep on my lap.  When we went to leave the other 2 girls grabbed my hands and we walked out together.  It was really fun and we can't wait to spend time with them again. 

Today after church we went out to lunch with another couple from church.  It was a lot of fun.  They have been here for several years and they took us to an awesome restaurant called the "Sunset Grill." It had some awesome pizzas that they make on the grill.  Ours had a avocado and shrimp with a garlic oil base.  It was delicious.  We talked about what each of us did.  Then we talked about some cool places to visit while here and just got a helpful view of the island.

After our great lunch we went to NEX to get some snorkeling gear.  We were so excited to go, but we had to wait a few hours, because of signing paper work for the house.  When we finally got to the beach it was closed.  So we went back to the beach on base and snorkeled.  It is really fun and you should see the gorgeous fish in the ocean.  God made a whole other amazing world under the sea.  If you ever have the chance you should try it. 

It was a big day and I just wanted to keep you all informed.  It has been fantastic here and we are really enjoying ourselves.
