Team #3's arrival and being robbed!

We got to the airport and found out that the team's plane was an hour delayed. They arrived excited, but tired. We got everyone settled in at the camp and came home to notice that things outside were out of place. Later we realized that some of the screens to our windows of the house had been cut. At first, it seemed as though nothing was missing, but on further inspection, our camp camera had been stolen off of a dresser, and a couple of different pairs of shoes had been taken from the laundry room which is a separate room outside of our house. I guess it wouldn't make you so mad except that when you have very little and they are even taking that...it is frustrating, but again, it could have been much worse if they had gotten in the house and taken our laptop since we wouldn't have the money to replace that right now and I need it for working my U.S. job. There is always a silver lining if you look for it. Right now, just pray for the kids who feel a little bit unsettled knowing that someone was trying to get into our house. I guess since we have never had problems here we may have become a little too relaxed in what used to be our "ritual" before leaving our home, closing all the windows and locking them, etc. Unfortunately, I guess we need to return to trusting no one like when we first came here.
