We've been in Buan a whole day now!
Hello all,
We drove up the hill into Buan village yesterday, around 2:30 pm. It went fine driving through the various rivers. The highest the water came was up to the hood, but it wasn't flowing fast and wasn't difficult to get through. We are glad to be here, but we have been very busy with cleaning everything we left, and getting all the major systems in working order. Now we have the water filter cleaned and functioning, as well as the solar system, the water system, the two-way Codan radio, and the stove and fridge. We have a resident occupying the oven. A rat moved in sometime in the last year, and we can see its nest through the glass in the oven door - very cozy! We see it chewed off and took the lower part of our shower curtain, and has some fluff from somewhere! The email communication system is one of the last things to get working, and I hope I can send this email. If you are reading it, then you will know I was successful. :)
Two of our kids have health problems we are worried about. Joanna has sores on her bottom, and they look red and painful. Matthew has had a cold and is breathing fast. He tends to get congestion in his lungs, so we hope that doesn't happen here. Please remember us in your prayers if you think of us.
Thank you and love,
Dave and Sarah
