We Are Here!
Hello everyone,
I realize the lateness of my writing, but we have some big news: We are in the village! We arrived on May 30th and are still getting settled in. It is a massive help having my in-laws to help us with the transition. I think the biggest help is that they have been able to give the kiddos some extra attention while Jo and I are trying to adjust and get settled ourselves.
Some people may ask, “Nathan, what are you getting adjusted to that requires so much of your attention?” Well random reader, I will tell you: watching our battery bank and our energy consumption to make sure we have enough power from the solar panels, watching our water consumption and water level in the water tank, meeting new people, understanding a new language, adapting to a new culture, organizing our belongings, and the list goes on. It is a little shock to our systems to be living in a new place, but God has been encouraging us through our brothers and sisters in Christ here in the village. We have already met many welcoming faces. Every person we talk to we hear, “You are welcome!”
So thank you to everyone who prayed for us as we made the journey to the village and please continue to pray for us and our fellow partners in the Gospel who we work alongside of. More to come soon.
