Settling In

Well time has flown by, but we've been at the City of Refuge for over a month now, and we're settling in very nicely! The Puffpaffs have gone back to the States for their year of itineration, and the Rudy family has come to join us as Missionary Associates. J.R. and his family will be working with the coffee farm, construction, and implementing a pre-school. They have 2 daughters who fit right in with our girls, so all is good! We also have another young lady here, Laura, who is teaching Kindergarden. We're all becoming one big happy family.

The kids here are warming up to us, and we've been having a fun, but hard time getting to know their names...all 60+ of them, plus all the staff! But, we'll get it eventually. They've all been great about being patient with us.

We have now moved into the Puffpaff's house, which is AWESOME! Finally, a real live house with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms...2 stories! You can't even imagine how excited Dulcie is! And it is BEAUTIFUL! God has certainly blessed us!

Our first week in charge here has proven challenging, as this is a much larger operation than New Vision, but we have survived! God has said He will not give us more than we can handle! Altho, at times I wonder!

We are extremely busy trying to manage our time in the office, running errands, homeschooling Jaycee & Hannah, helping Levi & Alyssa adjust to Jamaican school (they go to school on the property), and managing home life! But we are loving being in Jamaica, fullfilling the call God has on our lives. When I think about the fact that we only have one more year left, it actually saddens me a little! But, that's another day!

Anyway, God is good, and continues to provide all we need, both materially and emotionally and spiritually! Everyone is doing well, so we can't complain!
Thanx for all you do for us! We so appreciate your love, prayers and support!
Blessings to you all!
