We arrived on schedule, and without incedent (though there were plenty of near misses with five flights in a 26 hour period) one week ago today. We spent a couple of days resting, then traveled to Idaho to spend some time with my parents and extended family here. Pictures are coming someday. I think.
We are currently enjoying this time with family through this weekend, then I will probably start working at a somewhat temporary position while I look for a more permanent solution. Then we take off to Florida to see Nádya's sister get married to Patrick (someone bought our tickets for us, which is awesome).
The adjustments and culture shocks are abundant, but we are trying to cope well with them.
welcome "home"? It's an expression that probably has mixed feelings for you now. I'm sure your hearts are in various places, regardless to where your physical presence is.
ReplyDeletePhil, I think you have said it much better than I could have. Thanks for your prayers.
ReplyDeleteHey Karl:
ReplyDeleteMy computer died in February and I lost everything just now getting back online with a new email address. Thrilled to hear you guys made it safely. Will keep you all in prayer as you look for a place to settle down.
Bonnie
I am still strongly holding to my hopes that all and every cultural shocks will not resist the power of love. The love the Lord has for you guys and the one you have for each other. It is not going to be easy, but who said it should be? May it add life and maturity and richness (part of which might be in American dollars!)to this beloved family
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day, Nadya!
