After Brent's first visit to Burundi, he kept saying, "I can't wait to take you to Burundi. You will love it! Our home is wonderful! You won't believe your eyes!" Well, he was right. Our home is fabulous. It's hard to imagine that you can find a place like this on a missionary budget, but it's half the price of our home in Lubumbashi. I am feeling so pampered and a bit embarrassed that we live in such a beautiful place in a land where the average personal income is $300 per year. But I do love it!!
Here are pictures.
It takes two pictures to get a panoramic view of the apartment building.
Our apartment is on the top left. Fogleys live on the top right.
We have a great room, 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, two and 1/2 baths (the half also serves as the laundry room and houses the washer, but no dryer.) Our office is back in our home with two desks facing each other in a corner of the great room and we love it there.

This is the view to the East and West.
But we're still in Africa. Below is our street and the house across from it.
We have had constant power, water and internet and the work of the preaching of the gospel is remarkable. More to come on that subject!
Life is good!

This gives me one more reason to want to come and visit you.
WOW! That is really nice!! WOOHOO!!! We are so happy you have made it and can't wait to hear all about this next step in your adventures. Love you!
You SO deserve a little "pampering". Glad you have a comfortable place that has power and water. We'll keep our fingers crossed that it stays that way. Love you!
