Hi everyone! This is my first time actually writing on our blog spot!
Today was mine and Joel´s third straight day of shopping for supplies and we´re pooped! We don´t have much more to get besides a few decorations for our apartment, which I of course am in charge of. We finally went grocery shopping today for food and got our apartment a little organized...we still have a ways to go before it´s totally in order. The only thing we´ve had a hard time finding is a cheap microwave...the cheapest we´ve been able to find is $80...so maybe you could be praying for a microwave to fall into our laps!
Joel´s dad left today to go back home. He was really helpful in hauling all of our luggage and boxes up our HUGE hill. He was able to help trouble shoot and fix some things around our apartment too.
We´ll have to post a picture of our hill sometime...the majority of the taxi drivers refuse to drive us all the way home because of that hill. Before going home with a whole shopping cart full of things, we have to make sure our Taxi driver is willing to drive us all the way home. After today we shouldn´t have to take many more taxis as we won´t be needing a whole cart full of groceries or supplies every time we go to the store.
This transition has been really hard for me personally. I know we´ve only been here for three days, but I miss everyone and everything so much! Life here is definitely not the same. I LOVE it here, but as the saying goes, "There´s no place like home." Though it´s been a little stressful, I can see how God has totally provided for us spiritually, emotionally, financially, and energetically. Joel and I have managed to get everything we need, thanks to the Lord´s provision, and we´ve gotten along great so far! I know that this will be a time of "character stretching" that will only bring us closer to each other and the Lord.
For the rest of this week, we plan on spending time to finish organizing our apartment and hopefully relax a little before beginning ministry next week. Please be praying for anxiety levels to be going down as we settle into our new living space and that we would find the time to spend with God preparing ourselves to serve.
We love you guys!

Leslie,
I am glad to hear you and Joel made it. I know you were a little worried about your plane trip. We miss you in class already. Don't worry we will save your spot! May God bless you as you bless others!
Take Care!

Hey Guys,
The view looks great from your balcony!! How awesome it would be to see that everyday. I hope it never gets old. Leslie have fun decorating. Where are you going to do your nursing at? Is it going to be with the people you were helping out in Joel's latest update?
