It has been quite a process, but we feel pretty well settled into our new home. We now have internet and phone - vonage too, so our 703 number is still good. Wow! Feeling very thankful for this place that we have. It is a 3rd-floor apartment with three bedrooms (extra one so you can all come visit!), and if it isn't new, it hasn't been lived in much. We really feel quite spoiled here. The process has been long because when one moves out of a house or apt here, they take everything - stove, fridge, up to the lightbulbs, sometimes even toilets. So we have had to start from scratch (thankfully there were toilets). Some things purchased, some graciously given or loaned, some crafted at one of Lima's most humble and well-known merchant areas (see upcoming blog); we would have been very lost without the cheerful help of many new Peruvian friends. Today a couple folks came over to help paint, and we all enjoyed lunch afterward. Goodness, there is so much to say! Now that we have the connection here, we will catch you up on everything. Thank you again for reading faithfully, and for your prayers.
