It is true, as I write this the sweat is dripping down my neck and there isn’t a fan to be found anywhere (I guess they have all been bought up!) It is easy to look at the negatives of a place when everything is new, and so we have started a ‘Great things about our new home’ list. We placed a white board near our door and so everytime we think of a good thing about where we now live we write it down. After one we week here we have written:
-A market really close by with everything we could need
-People help with strollers (up and down the stairs) without being asked
-We have a wonderful apartment
-Cars will stop to let strollers cross the street
-We have great SBS friends / coworkers
-There are beautiful walks and avenues
-Cell phones are super cheap, AND we even have a landline (see how to contact us farther down the page)
-Our apartment came with a washing machine
-Our ministry leader is very capable and wise
-Our friends have been super helpful
We still have a long way to go to feel settled but we are on our way. Please keep praying for us as we go through the normal culture shock to do it well and feel ‘normal’ soon.
