Well, after a LONG time on the airplane (almost 20 hours!), we're here in Johannesburg! We made it through the flight pretty well, but Jeremy got sick shortly after we landed and was sick for a couple of days. He's feeling much better now though, and we have spent the last several days trying to get our house in order. That means we're unpacking, buying household necessities like cleaning supplies, etc. We've been very busy, but things are going great as we are getting acclimated to our new environment.
We have all taken a few days to get used to the time change, but our bodies are now adjusted and we're getting ready to dive into our duties. We have had dinner with a different missionary family each day since we have been here and have enjoyed getting to know our coworkers, we are fortunate to have such a great group! Jeremy begins work tomorrow morning at the Regional Office, while Tricia will be spending a few weeks getting Jake adjusted and continuing to get the house in order before she starts working part-time on her assignment. We are both looking forward to getting to the work that the Lord has sent us here to do!
Thank you so much for all of your prayers as we have really been blessed to have everything go so smoothly this far. We praise God for blessing us in more ways than we can imagine. If you would like to pray for some of our current needs, they are:
- That we are able to find a car that is within our budget, yet reliable enough to last for the next three years.
- That we would learn quickly and perform well in our new roles beginning tomorrow.
- Continued good health for our family.
- That God would continue to move in mighty ways in his church in Africa.
This weekend, we are going to try to get to one of the game parks around here, so hopefully we will have some interesting pictures to share with you next time. May God bless you in a powerful way this week!
Until next time,
Jeremy, Tricia & Jake
