We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of the people at Knox ever since we arrived, and this has continued through this week. We have had help with everything from buying a car to supplying our new home with furniture! We are humbled that so many people are willing to joyfully give to us; God has truly provided for all our needs. Kris and Matt bought vehicles at the auto auction; we are now the proud owners of a silver-blue 2000 Toyota Camry wagon! I spent much of Friday looking at PT ("physio" here) clinics and gyms and working on my resume, and will go in on Monday to speak with some of them. We would appreciate prayers that I would get a part-time job that I will enjoy, close enough to walk or bike most of the time.
November 5 is Guy Fox Day, remembering the day that Guy Fox tried to blow up Parliament in England. So to celebrate, they have BBQs and shoot off fireworks! The Tennents had the youth group kids over and they did the fireworks quickly before the storm came in...and then later under the umbrella!
Saturday we got to start moving into our new house. The guys collected furniture from various homes around the valley while Ang and I and the Tennent girls cleaned and organized. It's starting to look like a home! Tonight we will start staying there. We look forward to getting settled in and getting into some kind of normal routine again.
So good to see you are settling in! It is such a good life experience to live abroad.
ReplyDeleteYes it is. It does feel good to finally be done living out of a suitcase!
