- We are with 12 other soon-to-be missionaries who will be dispersing around the globe this year. We are enjoying getting to know this great group of people.
- The discipleship centre we're staying in is in the ghetto of Harrisburg- quite an interesting neighbourhood! Right now I am listening to a crazy amount of 4th of July fireworks and firecrackers just outside my window (and am surprised that Cody is sleeping through it!).

| Our little climber loves the stairs in the 100-year-old building we're living in. |
- Cody was quite sick the first week with a flu, ear ache and rash (it was a virus). So needless to say, it was rather hard leaving him for the first time and he did spend a couple of the sessions snuggling on mommy's lap. He is back to his usual cheerful self now and is very happy with the lovely childcare girls.

| He spends a lot of time eating and giggling in this great seat we purchased. |
- We have had some great cross-cultural experiences. We visited a Muslim mosque, a Messianic Jewish synagogue and a Conservative Jewish synagogue. This weekend we head to a Hindu temple in New Jersey.
- Being tourists here on the weekends has been much fun. We spent a day touring the beautiful Amish countryside. My favourite stop was a toy store with handmade wooden toys. We also went to Hershey, Pennsylvania and learned how to make a kiss! Cody loved the little train ride, especially the singing cows.
- We have really appreciated the classes. So far, I'd have to say David Shenk was my favourite. If you haven't read his books, you should. He has a wealth of experience, especially when it comes to Muslim-Christian dialogues and he shares the most interesting cross-cultural anecdotes.
- Lastly, it is HOT here! I know everyone at home is wishing it were hotter but this heat and humidity seems more like the Philippines and we don't have an air conditioner!
