Thanks so much for your prayers! The move has gone really smoothly. The worst part was getting everything packed and out of the house in Nairobi! We had a very soft landing in Bunia, staying at a friend’s house that is all set up and comfortable… hot showers, excellent househelp/cook, good electricity (most of the time), etc. We jumped into 2 weeks of group meetings (crisis training, management training) and I’m getting ready for a 3-week workshop with Congolese translation teams starting Tuesday. So we haven’t had the normal “settling in” time of finding out what’s where and how to do things, and we haven’t really been able to look for housing yet, though a friend of Douglas’ showed him a couple of places (one didn’t seem secure enough, the other was too huge). While I’m at the workshop, Douglas will be able to concentrate a bit more on house-hunting.
Everyone here has really welcomed us with open arms. We are grateful for a strong community. There were a few rough days this past week when we didn’t have power for 4 days, and therefore didn’t have internet. That has helped us realize that we need to have ‘back-up plans’ in place when we set up our own house.
