Monday (30th) brings great blessings! We have now secured a van, so a very big thank you to the Shaw family who lent us theirs since our arrival. Home Church at the Shaws on Sunday was a powerfully moving experience as we got to meet other like minded Christians and were asked to give our testimony. Nathanael also got to have a cuddle with a wonderful Christian man, (who also was there along with Mr. Seagrove, to collect us from the airport) who like Nathanael is the 11th child in is family. We have been soooo very loved and made welcome here. Mrs. Shaw, who is amazing... her home cooking skills are just incredible, as she carries a child on her back and tends to her other seven young children. We can't wait to visit them again this coming Saturday when the boys have been offered some and fishing on their 72 acre farm. The weather has been good to us too and the children are all really enjoying the house we are staying in, especially the wonderful Seagrove children who are just great hosts. We have had ice cream parties and pizza feasts and it is all so different to how we normally eat. We will soon be craving vitamin C and veggies!!! Jet lag has now passed...it took awhile. The flight was very good and even though we had gone 24hrs awake before getting to bed here, (as expected no-one hardly slept on the plane or 3 hour+ drive from the airport) we were all surprisingly well. We have been thankful of the rest we have been able to have here with the Seagroves. The trip to the enormous Walmart store was quite an adventure and eye-opener to American prices. Shopping is an enjoyable experience! This coming week is packed with activities and we are glad that our children got to do some Maths, Science, Geography, Spelling and lots of exercise today, with our hosts. Our first concert is this Thursday so your prayers are greatly appreciated. Thanks...keep your posts coming it means so much that we have folks back home supporting us.
