Humbling

Today was a very humbling experience.  Todd has been going into the office since Monday (which for me feels like a week ago) and each day he comes back with stories of how much he'll be responsible for and how he feels so honored and terrified at the same time.  You know those times in your life where you feel totally unqualified for something, and yet you know that you're EXACTLY where God wants you to be?  It's like those commercials for that insurance company where someone is standing in a big red circle asking if you understand them, because that's exactly where they're at... we're there.  We couldn't be more grateful and thankful for where God has been taking us.  Our townhouse here is far better than anything we could have afforded in the States with me staying at home part-time.  We feel so lucky that we were able to pack crates of things for here... it makes us feel slightly guilty for each time we wish for something American (like foaming Bath and Body Works hand soap).  If a lack of Clorox and foaming soap is our biggest worries... I think it's safe to say that God has been incredibly good to us.  

The missionaries two doors up start school tomorrow.  If you think of them, Morgan is going into 4th grade and Mackenzie is going into 7th (the school year starts here in January).  Also, Em and I are still under the weather.  Not as bad as the last few days, but I start training tomorrow, so we'll be working and that's no fun.  Lastly, Todd leaves Friday morning to get the car.  The best deals we found are on the coast in Durban.  He'll fly down there and then drive the 6 hours or so back.  Pray for his safety, the car, and him trying to work a manuel on the other side of the road.  God has been so good and I can't wait to tell you all what else He's doing...  stay tuned!
