Yesterday marked one month here for the Stevens Family, so I thought I would share my early impressions. We like it alot here. The people are friendly and that makes things so much easier. Even if it's hard to communicate a smile and nod of the head can say tons. The kids are adjusting as well as can be expected. Most days they do well. Of course they have tough days. Kyleigh is very popular at her school because she is new and very different. All the kids want to talk to her and ask questions, but after a few hours of not understanding it's tough. Mac likes school but does miss her time with mom. Adjusting has not been as difficult as I expected. The food's good, shopping is relatively convinent, food prices are reasonable. The hard part has been the time. Everything takes longer. For example getting to language school takes an hour because of all the bus/tram switches, its not really that far away. Alot of our day gets eaten up waiting and riding. Grocery shopping is difficult because we only by a little at a time because we have to walk or ride the bus home, therefore we shop 3 or 4 times a week. Over all the first month has gone really well. God has been very gracious and brought many people of peace into our path. We are trying to grow those relationships and look for where the HS is working and how we can be a bold verbal witness. We do miss fam and friends, and our church very much, but God has made this feel like home.
