Flying in the Furniture

As many of you know, we have moved into a new place. We really appreciate being able to have a little more space. This house has two floors which allows us to send the kids up! One interesting thing about many multiple story homes in Mexico is that the staircases are often not made to accomadate carrying up items. The beauty of a spiral staircase often outweighs its utility! We have a spiral stair case which does not allow us to carry up the beds. Also, the laundry room is upstairs so we can't get the washer and dryer up. So we are, flying in, the furniture. I have been told this is common here as many of the Mexican teachers have done it or seen it many times. Basically we are going to use the old rope and pulley system tonight as we hoist things through an upstairs window. We hvae a roof ledge above our door. We will hoist things to the ledge and then through an large window on the second floor. This should be quite an experience. You can pray that no one gets a washer dropped on them!

With that being said, we are excited about our new place as it has beautiful traditional Mexican craftsmanship. We will post pictures when we get settled. Since it is a new place, the phone company said they would be out in 2-10 days to set up the internet. You may not hear from us much in the next week. If so, you will know why! Thanks again for all of your prayers and support.
