Yeh! Our sea freight arrived yesterday and have been delighted to finally open and use many of the gifts given to us at our wedding! Now we have no excuse for not writing to you all to thank you! So here is a big preliminary THANK YOU! You have no idea how appreciated a juice-ing machine, an ice-cream maker, dinner plates and cutlery are when you’re living in 32 degrees every day and have only plastic plates and cutlery to eat from!

So praise the Lord for the safe arrival of most things! We were dissappointed to find Rachel’s cello (ouch) has been irreversibly broken plus one lovely crystal glass (sorry, Lorraine!), but thank the Lord for insurance and for a generally trustworthy and professional moving experience with the relocation company.

It might also be strange to some of our readers that, in addition to thanking God for insurance (!) we also thank Him for helping us to live without our possessions for so long (9 weeks). We are, of course, taught to depend on Him alone for our contentment and satisfaction, and not upon worldy goods! So it has been a challenging and helpful time for us both while we’ve waited for our things to arrive.
