We’ve now been in the country for about two weeks and are now back in our house. It’s been awesome to see the Lord’s blessings. We have felt your prayers throughout the last couple of weeks. Specifically we have been blessed with Andy’s adjustment to Indonesia. We asked you to pray that Andy would adjust well to the new culture and climate. Praise the Lord that He has been handling everything really well. We also asked for prayer for safety and good health. Despite us all coming down with a minor cold we’re doing well and have all now completely recovered it. Overall we have been blessed with extremely good health.

I have already completed my first week of classes at school! Janalyn will be taking a month to focus on taking care of Andy and getting the house settled and organized before returning to school. In the meantime she has hired a couple of language tutors to help warm up to the language again and review what she learned before.
