Thankful for God's Goodness!

We have pretty much finished setting our house up and are getting ready for language school. I am so thankful that my husband came and found us the perfect apartment. The pastor we are working with told us that he believes our place is a gift from God. I agree with him. We have begun learning some of the language by talking with people, but we start classes in just a couple of days. David is doing great. He learned some arabic before we came which helped tremendously when talking to taxi drivers and getting our furniture. I thank God for giving me the best husband in the world!

The kids are adjusting well and are starting to get on a flexible schedule. Joshua is already using some arabic words! Not just repeating them! We are thanking God for his goodness to us!

Progress

It was really hard for a while after Mom and Carrie left, but I am doing better now. We have gotten more of the necessities for the house, but still need a few more pieces of furniture and appliances. We found a language school, and yesterday we checked out a daycare which was walking distance from it. All I was thinking about the whole time we were there was that kids movie - Matilda. Wow, the lady that ran the school had a strong sense of darkness about her, and we were told at least 10 times that our children would have regular health checkups because they had doctors on call and would receive their vaccinations there. Scary! I wouldn't trust them with my children's daily needs and I sure wouldn't want them giving them medicines. We will be checking out another nursery and will be meeting women we have recommendations for. Pray for the Lord to lead in this area as I need to leave my children a few hours each day to learn the language. Oh- by the way- we can make it home 99% of the time without getting lost! :) Praise the Lord! We are making progress.
