A rat a day...
Dear Family,
 Sounds delicious, eh? :)
 We didn't eat it, silly! Today we found it, first  as it was in the kitchen cupboard, slowly feeling the effects of the poison, and  then a few hours later, as it was dead, under the desk. But, we disposed of it  quickly and how we're in good shape. Hopefully we won't find empty peanut shells  in the kitchen cupboard now!
 We're mainly healthy. Bubby still has a cold, and  he sometimes has a fever. But the sores are all under control, so we're thankful  for that.
 We have been going full speed ahead on language  learning. We have been trying to only communicate with people in Sam, but it is  REALY hard - Dave especially has questions that he want's to ask, that he can't  figure out how to ask in Sam, so it's frustrating for him, and he occassionally  lapses back into the trade language. But, we still want to say more and more in  Sam.
 We have been having mostly sunny mornings, and then  overcast afternoons, with rain a few nights. When the nights are rainy we get  rainbugs that launch themselves in droves at the lights we have on in the house.  If we turned out the lights we would have no rain bugs, but also it's very hard  to read or work on things. If it's not raining, then we get the big flying bugs  that have a lot of juice inside them. Splat! Amazing amount of juice inside!  :)
 OK, better send this. Take care, and  love,
 Dave and Sarah
