Okay, so we are all nice and settled in our new home in the big city. After the relocation, we lived at the company’s guest house for about 2 ½ months. Even though all 3 of us (and all of our stuff) were crammed into one room, it was really pretty fun. We got to meet volunteer teams who came over from America and it was always encouraging to share with them what we’re here for and learn more about them and their home churches. PLUS they’d leave us their leftovers…hello Starbucks and bacon!
At the end of October we moved into a more permanent residence and it is really, really great. It’s a nice place and it immediately felt like home. Each of us has our own room, there’s 2 bathrooms, a nice living/dining room area, and a kitchen. And because a lot of people were moving back to America right before we moved in, we inherited a TON of stuff…food, cabinets, armoires, more cabinets…a coffeemaker…and a microwave!
The best part is that it’s a duplex and we share it with another family who works for the same company. The couple is about my age and they have a 1-year-old son…who is SO STINKING CUTE. They are amazing…they have us over to eat, play games, or just hang out. And one day all 6 of us piled into the truck and went downtown to the big market to shop, listening to Christmas music the whole time. It felt like a family outing. We are so thankful for them and a new place to live!
