Finally Here!!

Hi everyone,

This is just a quick update to let you know we’ve arrived safe and sound and are settling into life in California . There has been a heat wave here since we arrived so its been around 40 degrees which is very hot but we are enjoying it!

The house we’re staying at is lovely, it’s really big and has everything we need. The family and 2 guys who are living in the garage are great and we’re all getting along well. Another house mate arrived today and we may be getting another one soon so it’s a full house but there is such a good atmosphere here. Food shopping has been challenging as everything is very different, supersized and really bad for you but we are learning where to shop. It’s a beautiful area with mountains surrounding it and lakes, so we went for a swim in one to cool down on Thursday and explored the area a bit while we still had our rental car.

Already, we are seeing that its such a good environment to be in- the couple we live with welcomed us by praying and prophesying over us and it’s a lifestyle of just asking God in faith for everything and seeing so much breakthrough. We can already feel the affects of that in us which is exciting. We went to our first Bethel church service last night, it was amazing to finally be there. The worship was so free and everyone just goes for it 100%. The school starts on Monday which we are very excited about so we’ll let you know how it goes.

Please pray that we’d continue to settle in well, make good relationships with people as we start school and continue to be transformed and stretched by the environment and the teaching here. Also, that we’d be able to get around ok as we no longer have a car and that God would provide lifts or some sort of transportation.

Thank you for all your love and support
