The cold crisp air of Sofia hit our faces, along with the reality, we were finally here! Our team members greeted us at the airport and took us to our new home. After a few days of recovering from jetlag we ventured out into the city and found the people here to be distant, yet friendly. They are especially considerate of the kids and you can tell children are valued in this culture.
Small tasks in America have now become feats of achievement here. Stacie has managed to conquer the shopping more than once, while Steven has triumphantly learned to navigate the public transportation. The children never cease to amaze us in their ability to adapt and make friends wherever we go. Jonathan even tried to help take up the offering in church Sunday.
Overall we feel extremely blessed to join God in His task of reaching all peoples!

· We arrived safely and are settling into life in Sofia.
· Support from our team as we enrolled Audrey in school and Jonathan and Eli in childcare.
· Pray for us as we begin learning the Bulgarian language.
· Pray for some contacts already made with Bulgarians, that these relationships would grow and present an opportunity to share the hope we have in Christ.
· Pray for Audrey, Jonathan, and Eli as they continue to adjust to a new life and culture.
