New Room

Here is picture of the house.  On the far left end of the picture is the Sisters house (only two living there now).  then you see our house. The new room is the one painted cream/white.  The rest of the house is to the right.The big room is the livingroom. You can just see Jessica sitting on the"Vernanda" just big enough to fit two wikerish chairsand.nd then behind Jessica is the diningroom.   The kitchen you can just see a piece of beyond the Veranda.  The two tanks you see are for extra water in case there is no water.  To the left of the water tanks you can see a large stone sink wear we do the laundry and the clothes lines are just out of sight in the picture.  I pre soak clothes with hot water from the shower.

The seagull and cloud tiles covers the whole bathroom to eye high and is gorgeous.  The toilet looks JUST like a US one.  The shower is made by putting up a half wall in the bathroom, but there is a large lip that keeps the water from running out the entrance (like they had in the old days here), Both bathrooms have hot water in the shower and our new bathroom has hot water in the sink, though I really never use hot water.  I may have mentioned the water is VERY hot, so I get a big bucket to carry downstairs to do the dishes.  With hot water it is a breeze.

The room is about 11ft by 15 ft so 165 square feet. We had it painted powder blue.  We had very few choices on the floor tile and ended up with black and white squares (made out of rubber/plastic). We also plan to put in a large table so Pete can use it as an office.  The two huge windows give a lovely breeze and there will be a ceiling fan.  Beautiful views out both windows. Hope to move in shortly after Thanksgiving.

In the picture you can also see the car that has been designated to us. Pretty good trunk space. It's four wheel drive which comes in handy on the many dirt roads.

The building just beyond the car belongs to Rosecart- a sweet 16 year old girl who works for the nuns next door she loves to play with the kids.  Then up the hill is the housing for two male staff and just barely visible is the Bishop's house.

We feel so blessed by the addition and hope that it will be used by many Missionaries after us.
