Arriving in Puerto Rico

We're finally here! We had a great flight and landed in the airport in P.R. at 10:45pm and were greeted by two staff here. First thing we noticed when walking out was the humidity, definitely a tropical island! We stayed up late watching the BCS National Championship with a few of the guys since we missed it during our flight.

When we got home we were amazed with our home! It's a beautiful 4 b.r. house that the pastor and his wife live in with their children. We are staying in it since they'll be away for language training. We'll also have our own vehicle that will be very convenient! Driving here is fast-paced and aggressive but we felt pretty comfortable.
We've had a little orientation, been able to meet most of the team at the ice cream social they had for us last night, and have seen some of the city by running errands.
There is another guy here doing the Discover program with us now and there may be another couple living with us if they are able to raise all of their support by next week.

So far things are going great and we're adjusting well. We had a little jet-lag but were able to really rest today and are ready for what's to come.

Oh and unfortunately our phone company has been giving us trouble with our plan so we are unable to use our phones at the moment. We're sorry if you've been contacting us and we've wanted to call. However, we won't be able to afford 69 cents/min.
