Our New Home

Well, we have done it! We are in our lovely new apartment, with Internet and nearly all of the furniture that we need. We have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, meaning that we have designated kids and growm ups bathrooms - very civilised! The place has just been refurbished and is lovely to have our own space. Our prayer is that it is a safe place, where we can know God's love not only for our family but for people in our community. In other news, it has been a hard week. Moving is always a bit difficult, even when it goes well, but I also heard last week that a friend from England had died, and I am very sad about that. It also makes me miss home, as I would have loved to have gone to the funeral. I am also in the middle of root canal treatment. I had previously had trouble with the tooth, but the situation may have been accelerated by being at altitude. It is nothing too major, but I don't like the dentist at the best of times, let alone in a new country where I can't speak the language! However, the dentist speaks English and Anjanette came as well, so it all went much better that I could have ever hoped. We continue to pray for Japan, joining with many others around the world. So, we are in the middle of happy, if sometimes challenging times, but love our new home!
