after nearly a month of living out of suitcases tonight we were finally able to unpack more permanently. This afternoon we moved into a lovely apartment in Arequipa. (We have now been in for more than 8 hours and I have yet to flood anywhere!!) We have spent this evening unpacking and trying to make it "home" for us for the next 6-9 months.
Thank you to those of you who prayed for us with regards to the nursery situation for Sarah. It seems to have worked out well. We have enrolled her in a Christian run nursery just around the corner from the language school where we will be studying. This last week we have been taking Sarah for about 2 hours each morning and staying with her to ease her into the program. Next week we will be starting our language study but we will also be eased in. We will only have 2 hours a day for the first week. The following week we will increase to half days in class, followed by homework.
Thanks again to all who are praying for us and to everyone who is reading this blog and posting comments. It has been a real encouragement to us. Our next steps are to commence language study on Monday and to find ourselves a church to worship in. We have met a number of other missionaries and they all seem to go to different places for church so there seems to be no shortage of places to worship, it is just finding the right place for us.
Thats all for now. Be in touch again soon.

Always nice to know that someone actually reads your blog - Right? Sounds like God has made your pathes smooth and I know you will both do well in your language studies. Thanks for your email. We are going up to Balleymena next Sunday for church and a visit with your parents. Love and prayers Gwen
Good to see you have settled in well. Dave - glad you have had lessons in how to mop a floor without flooding the whole place! God Bless
Good to hear your news. Glad things are working out as God planned! No surprise.
ps.Please advise how I can get your best man down from cloud 9 after the Barca result!
Not surprised he is on cloud nine. So am I. Was able to watch the game here too. Although Mario Kempes commentating is not as good as Jonathan Pearce! Where is the final this year, need to check flights from Peru!
Glad to see that you are settled in your new home. We are off to visit your parents in Ballymena tomorrow morning. Enjoy your language studies - you are both so bright you'll do really well!
God Bless,
Gwen
