First Two Weeks

The first 2 weeks have come and gone. In one way it feels as though we just got here but in another like we have been here a lot longer. We have been quite busy these last couple of weeks.

We arrived in Ukarumpa on February 1^st. We were met at the airstrip by our fellowship family who took us to Ukarumpa and started to get us settled in. Jon said he does not remember much about those first few days. We were so tired and were suffering from jet leg and the cold virus.

Our new home is in a perfect location for us. We have a beautiful view of the mountains from our back deck. We are near the park for the girls to play at.

 

 

The first 3 days we were here we were blessed with being able to go to different peoples’ houses for lunch and dinner. That way we could meet some new people and not have to worry about cooking while we were getting settled in.

Jon started work last Monday and is enjoying it very much. There is so much work for him to do; he will not run out! We are still working on my professional registration in the country. It should be ready soon. We do not know what it will look like for me to work and take care of the girls but we will worry about that once I am actually able to work in the country.

We have had our small trials of sickness already. It took a good 2 weeks for Jon and my colds to go away. Clara’s ear infection has cleared up. She is still coughing once in a while but is much better. Macy has had 2 cold viruses and a double eye infection. Just today her fever broke. We are praying for some good health and rest.

Please continue to remember us in your prayers:

-          That we would be free from illness

-          That we will find a Bible study to join

-           That we may learn Pidgin quickly
