Changes

This week has brought some changes for us. On Monday, we were informed that Megin will be taking over ALL of the camp's finances. The camp secretary will no longer do any of the finances. In addition, Megin is supposed to try to streamline the financial system in order to make it more efficient and less time consuming. This new job will be done along side Megin's current responsibilities of working with the work crews.
*Please pray that Megin will be able to balance working with both the finances and the work crews without becoming overwhelmed as the work crews already consume a lot of time! Also, pray that Megin will have wisdom in how to streamline the system.

Then on Tuesday, we were told that we could move into a different apartment. As much as we like our current apartment, it is too small to live in long-term. We have now lived there for 4 months and have not yet been able to completely unpack because there is no place to put our stuff. By moving into this other apartment, we will have much more room. However, we have to move by Friday because a small work crew is coming and needs to stay in the smaller apartment. So we spent Tuesday and Wednesday cleaning, repairing, and painting the "new" apartment and then moved into it today (Thursday). It was a lot of work and pretty tiring but we did it! We are definitely nowhere close to being "settled" though and still have a lot of unpacking and organizing to do.
*Please pray that we will be able to get unpacked and settled fairly quickly. Pray that this apartment will be a blessing to us and others.

We would really appreciate your prayers because we already have a lot of adjustments to make (being newly married, living in a new culture and area, learning a new language, learning a new job, etc) that sometimes even the smallest changes can make things hard. Thank you!
