I'm here!

Hey everyone I am here in Salone and doing fine. I am staying with John Campbell a well drilling missionary for the first week to get set up and take care of all of the paperwork I need to get done in Freetown so the container will arrive with no problems...Today Jesi and I went into Freetown and got our drivers licenses, and what a deal we didn’t have to take tests or anything just pay for them! It reminded me a lot of the DMV back home, crowded and not so organized. Next we headed to the U.S. Embassy so she could get some paperwork done and so I could register with them.  

It rained for most of the day and it is still raining so about 10-12 hours straight so far. I have an umbrella but over the course of the day I got soaked many times getting in and out of the public transport cars. We went to the supermarket in town and I found and bought some good avocados and potatoes. The avocados look a lot like the ones from Florida but they are cheaper!
I am going to move out to my location this weekend at Newsteps in Waterloo, and I hear that most of the senior boys from the orphanage are out there and are excited and ready to start working and have got most of place cleaned up.

Well anyways tomorrow I am heading back into town to sign some more papers and then I am going to go out to the Farms and see how the land clearing is going/looking because the ministry of agriculture is coming out Friday to make sure I really have a farm so I can get duty free on the container.

I miss everyone and hope all is well!
