Finally

sorry to those of you who have been waiting. im at dan and katies house and finally can use my computer. i am staying at Diks and Initas home in Madona. they are wonderful people.. and are very happy to have me. they have a three year old son Diks Jr. who i will meet 2mrw. we all went shopping at maxxi i think that was what it was called and they wanted me to pick out all the food so they knew i would like it. we have two boys from the youth group over Oscar and Elvis they both speak english quite well but are a little bit shy. 2night was youth night in Madona, pronounced Maduana. Diks is trying to teach me how to say things correctly in Latvian. They are love me so much they gave me my own cell phone and a key to their house, our house. :) i will however be spending the bulk of my time with a lady named Guna she is 27 she is also very happy to have me around this monday Inita, Guna, and i are all goin to a seminar on coloring hair. im so excitd but we have to find all the materials for me in english first. WOW! i have you guys so behind. im sorry. so my first night her Dan, Katie, the kids, i, and Marvin all stayed in Riga at the bbi's partners building so that katie and the kids could get to the airport faster. i slept almost a full 12 hours... and it was lovely. it is i think 9:30... and if the boys wernt over i would be in bed already. well i will continue this 2mrw.  good night and i will be missing you all. i have a pix of the scenery in ergli and then of my room.
