Using the Internet


Well it is less than a week before we make the big move. The Jensen family has already been there for almost a few weeks now and has really helped us get our house ready. They have even started the process on getting us the internet. This will be nice as I use the internet for a lot of things. Some may think that the internet is just a luxury, especially to a missionary, and this is true, but I use it for everything. I not only use the internet for communication, and this blog, but I use it for many other things. I use it to homeschool the kids, and it is also my personal reference to everything. In America if the kids are sick and I am not sure what to do, I would call the pediatrician, here I use the internet. I also use the internet to find out how to treat the dogs with certain things, again something I would call about in America, like the vet. And since I just can’t call my mom or friends to get advice on cooking something, again I use the internet. So as you can see it can it is a great resource that I use all the time. I am not sure how long we are going to be without it after our move, or how much slower it is going to be, so we will see. When Carey checked out the house he had to take someone from the internet company out to the house to check and make sure that the house and location would get internet. You may have noticed that I mentioned Carey had to take someone. This is because people and companies don’t have cars like they do in America, so a lot of times you have to go pick the company’s employee up and take them back. One unusual thing about the internet is that one house may get it, but next door they may not be able to. This is Africa. 
Until Next Time,
Bonnie
