This has certainly been an eventful week! On Wednesday, we got our car, which is a Renault Clio. A small car, but a car! We are SO excited to have it, and we thank each and every one of you that made this possible for us with your deputation offerings. We also thank God for providing us the vehicle at a price we could afford.
This Saturday, our new car helped us get to Maropeng, which is a World Heritage Site that is just outside Johannesburg. Essentially, this site is a museum that displays and celebrates certain archaeological finds from southern Africa. It was interesting, but there was a lot of evolution speculation throughout the exhibit. I guess we will learn exactly how God did it all one day, huh?
The best parts about the day were the picnic that we had overlooking the South African countryside and also playing with Jake in the "kiddie cave". We had a blast, and it was wonderful to be able to see a little bit more of our new home. We hope to be able to see a little bit more every week now that we have our new car!
Work is going well, Jeremy is learning a little more everyday and trying to get things accomplished one at a time. There is a lot of learning to be done! Tricia will start training for her new job in about two weeks, when Jake starts nursery school. He'll be going half days, three days a week. Tricia is looking forward to starting her new job, but we are just having a hard time believing that our two-year-old is off to school already! We know that it will be a great experience for him to play with kids his own age though.
Please continue to remember the following needs in prayer:
-- The work of the Church of the Nazarene in Africa
-- Our continued adjustment to our new environment
-- Good health to be able to perform our jobs
-- Jake's upcoming adjustment to nursery school
As always, thanks for your prayers!
Until next time,
Jeremy, Tricia & Jake
