Getting Started

Thanks to Patty Bunn at Jalex Real Estate Services in SHippensburg, I now have a blog!
Thanks Patty!

We have arrived in Mali and are getting settled.  The 2nd floor apartment we have here at Healing2theNations is a lovely 3 rooms and bath space, with clean almost white walls and tile countertops.  The second floor location gives us a little more privacy and that is nice too.  One thing that we did not have are many shelves, cabinets, etc to store our belongings, so that is taking a bit of time to get organized. Hopefully we will be getting the shelving that we ordered from a Malian Cabinetmaker sometime today.

We arrived at the Bamako Airport to a warm 80+ degrees at just after midnight on Wed MAy 5.
While the temps have stayed consistantly hot, we have adjusted much better than we could even imagine-- thanks for al your prayers.  THis past sunday was probably our coolest day thus far, following an early morning rain storm, and the low temp dipped into the 70's in the predawn hours (I think-- we need to get a more reliable thermometer than the one candy thermometer that I brought along).
