Martin Family Update July 17, 2008

Hi all! Just wanted to send out another update, this time from home!
We are able to connect to the internet through the cell phone network
here. It is about half the speed of a dial-up modem, but it seems
really reliable, and it costs only 50 cents per hour. We are glad we
will be able to stay more in touch with everyone. Here are some recent
photos: Imogen in her school uniform, Arwen fitting in with her
neighborhood friends, Elias trying desperately to crawl, and our house
now complete with glass in the windows.

We celebrated Imogen's 7th birthday with a little party in her classroom
(sweet spaghetti and juice drinks), and then a little party with the
neighborhood friends at our house.

One of the challenges we are facing on our return has been that a lot of
things are broken! Our TV, some electrical things, our motorcycle, and
now our oven! It is taking a lot of time to get all this stuff either
repaired or replaced, but slowly we are getting things back in order so
our household can function once again.

Thanks again for your prayers for us. Next week we will start attending
the various Bible studies to get a feel for how they are all doing, and
the week after that I will start teaching and discipling again.

Bryan
