a bit of an update - from the Home Office

I got an email from the Tans on Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 13:20. Here's a summary of what they had to say:

Hello, we just today got internet access at our home. Now we can get to our emails regularly.

We are both doing well. Some initial hardships have been overcome. We are working on our Swahili. We even conducted a simple transaction in Kiswahili the other day - bought a bottle of water, cold.
