Blessings



It's been two weeks today since I arrived here in Tarija. I thought it was time to think of my blessings and give thanks for how God has been taking care of me during this time...

-the care of the jovenes here in Tarija who met me at the airport and who have been so welcoming and helpful during these past two weeks.

- only one dish broken during the packing and unpacking process :)

- being able to unpack everything after almost 5 months of living out of suitcases

- the convenience of living in the city center (just 2-3 blocks from the two main plazas)

- peanut butter

- getting internet set up

- skype

- rain after a drought

- cooking in my own kitchen

- all those who have been praying for me during this time

- the care of friends and teammates during the move


What are you thankful for?

'til next time,

Settling In

The following are pictures from the move starting in Cochabamba and ending here in Tarija. Once I'm a bit more settled, I'll show more pics including around the town but this will give you an idea of my new home.



















Happy Weekend!

The Move

I am now officially living in Tarija...I arrived a week ago and my furniture, etc. got here Thursday evening. I was able to get internet going today so now need to get caught up on everything.

The move went surprisingly smooth - I was even met at the airport by 4 jovenes who took me to get my keys for the apartment. God has been so good. My place still looks nuts but I have hope :) I've taken a few pictures of the moving process and will post them on Friday which will give me a bit more time to get my place in order.

Thanks for all the prayers...please continue as I settle in. I love living here but it doesn't feel like home yet. I need some more time.

'til next time,
rebecca
