Lydia is sick

Please join us in prayer as Lydia has come down with the flu. This isn’t a great time as we are in the middle of our orientation to prepare ourselves to live overseas. There are some rules about what we have to do so other people don’t get sick too. This means one of us needs to stay at home with her while the other goes to class.

We are going to trade off (one watch her in the morning while the other watches her in the afternoon) while she gets better.

We are here

Or are we there? Well, the good thing is we are somewhere! We’ll post some more information later; however, we moved into our training facility on Monday (today is Tuesday, I know….) We begin the sessions tomorrow. Basically, this training is to teach us a bit about culture shock, moving overseas, legal matters, how to adjust, etc….

Oh, Lydia’s first birthday was Monday. We’ll get a post about that (and her 1 year doctor visit) up, hopefully by the end of this week.

Serbian Music

Just to give everyone a taste of Serbian music, we’ll put this mp3 on our podcast.  I don’t have a clue what the song is about…I just know the artist (Goran Bregovic) is a big guy in Serbia.  While we were there several years ago, he put on a performance in the center of town that we went to see part of.  (for more on that, see our writings on the 29th of September 2006 )
