One month

I cannot believe that we have been here a month already! Where did the time go? We are thoroughly enjoying it here and are getting accustomed to the lifestyle and culture here. It has been amazing to watch the Lord work in our lives and know that He brought us here...whatever His reason is. I started a new Bible study last week and am really looking forward to the next 5 weeks. God has blessed me with such an amazing friend that is also a believer and we have had some wonderful talks about our faith and our lives! This is a friendship that is truly from God and the mysterious ways He works! :) The presence of the Lord is more real in my life than it has ever been and I am growing closer and closer to Him each day!
Jason is still settling into work and how things are going to be. It's been a little unsettling for him the first month of getting paperwork done and running around every day! He is excited about his job and being the "old man" in his unit (which is mostly made up of 18-19 year olds). He feels that the Lord has placed him exactly where he needs to be! :) We are still in the process of finding a church. We have tried 3 and it's been cool too watch Jason grow spiritually when discovering for ourselves if the doctrine is sound at the churches we try. I pray that we will find one that fits soon!
Paige is loving it here as well! She is attending Cubbies on base and absolutely loves it! She asks all week if it's time to go yet! We have been working on identifying letters and numbers and that keeps all of us busy. She has also entered the stage of temper tantrums...BIG time! That's fun. The Okinawans love her and her curly hair. Everywhere we go they talk to her and wave and her and touch her hair! It's so funny and she just feeds on it and poses for them and giggles.
We are still awaiting the arrival of our belongings Nov. 1 and the 15! It will be like Christmas for us! But in the meantime, we are getting by with what we have and trying new foods and places! Gotta love the island life! :)
