Wild Boars

I am continuing to work on finding a job and have a couple of leads with good timing! There is a position that is openning up in about a month in which I will then have my visa and my papers that allow me to work on base! Had the position been open now I would not have been able to take that job, but of course I might not get that one but God is taking care of things and I am not concerned.
I have been able to continue with the women's bible study and have been able to spend some time outside of there getting to know some of the women which has been a huge support! We went for a hike yesterday and I asked about mountain lions in jest as coming from Colorado we had them. They joked about the wild boars and about how they had personally never seen one since being here...well as we reached the church on the hill I went back onto the path to get a cool picture and I hear a lot of noise and look behind me and wow wild boars. Those things are huge...well they are at least about 3 feet tall (somewhere) around there and had huge horns. So I had a yikes moment and then they just ran past me. Wild boars...interesting. I will have to download some of the hiking pictures at a later time as I am now on base. So I also found out yesterday an interesting fact about Avaino air base...65 percent of the women on base are pregnent...wow.
Sean's birthday is tomorrow and he has to work his regular 12 hour day and then we are going to our Friday night Bible study in which we have found several friends. We will probably celebrate on Saturday particially by sleeping in as he has worked an extra long week!
Hope you guys are doing well! I'll add some more pictures later!

  1. Have fun celebrating Sean's birthday, and resting as well on that day. FYI, Brandon might join the Air Force, as the military pays for medical school if he serves in a military hospital after graduation. Brandon thinks that the Air Force would be the best option out of the branches, but isn't really sure.

  2. The Air Force is definitely the best option. I'm not biased either! :P Seriously though, I've met a lot of people from other branches that have said they wished they were in the Air Force.
