Postscript

We are so thankful for everyone who has been praying about this move.  On Saturday we boarded a plane in Nairobi headed for Johannesburg.  Just four hours later, we were at the O.R. Tambo Airport collecting our baggage.  Praise God that everything went smoothly on both the departure and arrival ends of our journey.

We’re staying at a guest house run by an American couple from our organization.  This was my third time to stay there and Jeff’s second; it’s where we’ve stayed on our previous trips here.  It feels quite familiar now, and it’s home while we complete some paperwork, shop for a car and participate in some orientation.

Shortly after we settled in, a group of Wycliffe colleagues that live in the area came to the guest house to welcome us to South Africa.  They were all familiar faces, as we’d met everyone before on previous trips.  One couple, who lives here and works for Europe area, was with us in Austria just three weeks ago.

While our jobs focus on serving the whole continent, we’ll also be able to work more with these colleagues than we have before.  We’re looking forward to that.  Already Jeff has been asked to help someone with their email, and I now have time to consult on social media with someone working for Wycliffe South Africa.

Tomorrow we begin processing paperwork.  We will start off the day early standing in line waiting for a traffic registration number.  This is an essential document that will allow us to purchase and register a vehicle and get a local drivers license.
