becoming home

After a few requests for pictures of our daily life I snapped some with my ipad. I'll work on getting pictures of the rooms once they are more furnished. We're happy with our little place nestled in the woods. We don't see the elephants from our doorstep (unfortunately!), but we often drive past them on the main road through the reserve on trips into town. We're about 40 minutes from Melalane, the nearest city. There is a slight mountain range that makes the scenery beautiful and so I don't mind driving one bit. It's been a month already since we moved in! Matthew is enjoying his job and I'm finding my feet. Most of my time is spent reading or writing. I'm trying to write about my year in Cote d'Ivoire, which is harder than I'd imagined. We go to church in Malelane and there are many lovely girls around my age and also great families. Many of them are fruit and sugar farmers in the area. We are blessed by community and work and ministry and quiet living. We're thankful!
