We are getting settled

Hello everyone,
We are getting settled here and finally over the jet lag.  We are 8 hours ahead of the east coast so it took a bit.  The kids all started school on Monday and things are going well.  Timothy and Sallie were so excited on day 1, but now that it is day 4 things are (and I quote), "so looooong!"  I guess they think that 8:00- 3:10 school is a bit longer then homeschooling.  But, they are meeting friends and getting to play some sports too.  Trevor is in overload mode!  He is loaded with 9th grade classes and trying to stay a float.  So far it is going well.  He is in an 11 grade math class (Algebra II) and a 10th grade science class (Chemistry) and the rest he does with the 9th graders.  Some of the other kids do the same kind of thing (taking difference classes) so he is not the only one.  They keep the kids very busy here.  The high schoolers have something going Friday, Sat and Sunday nights if they want.  So, there is very little free time.

Jim and I have been busy getting life set up.  We are trying to set up the apartment so that we can find things!  We desperately need desks right now.  There are papers everywhere!  We are still working on ironing out all the details of who we will work for and how we will be involved specifically.  Please pray that all the people involved (which are many) will come to an agreement soon.

Rose, our house help, is working out great.  She is a nice lady and is the parent to her granddaughter.  She lost her daughter a few years ago.  She spent all day Monday and Tuesday catching up on laundry.  It is all line dried, and the washer takes a little over an hour.  (She even irons)!  She is attending a funeral for her uncle tomorrow.  Please pray for her and her family as they go through this hard time.

Please keep us in your prayers!
In His Hands,
Jullie T.
