We got internet today so I can finally post an update!
We arrived in Fresno last Friday, the 31st. Two men from Peace helped us unload our moving trailer. It has taken us quite a while to get mostly settled in. We unpacked the last box today and only have a few items left to be put in a closet or under a bed somewhere.
Trustees from church got a new couch and loveseat for the vicarage apartment. They're very nice, extremely comfortable, and have proven quite useful for naps this week! Some people from church donated new towels for the kitchen and bathroom, and one woman gave a box of older dishes to add the the 4 bowls and 6 plates originally in the apartment. I'm very thankful for this, as I can now wait until the dishwasher is full instead of hand-washing dishes after every meal! Incidentally, they are the same dishes that Tim's mom has. I'm not sure if she uses them anymore though, but I know I have seen them at her house!
Tim was installed on Sunday during both services. I enjoyed getting to chat with some of the members before church. They all love Norah already! After the late service, Peace held a "pantry party" for us. We met more members and came home with quite a bit of food items, gift cards, and money. We've found that some people here already remind us of friends and family back home. :) We sure miss everyone, but they've made it much easier on us already. We've gotten some dinner invitations once we're settled. There is one family that wants to show us around Fresno soon, and another who wants to take us to Yosemite sometime this year.
This morning I attended the ladies bible study. A college student comes to do babysitting for anyone who might need it. Norah was the only baby... which I was not surprised by since I was the youngest in attendance at bible study by at least 30 years (easily!). It was a nice chance for me to get to meet some more ladies from church and get to know others better. They all seemed very happy to have me join them today.
I think that's all for now. Check back soon though for a post about our trip. We have some pictures and stories to share. Thank you for all your prayers for a safe journey!
P.S. I'm not sure why it says Tim posted this... it was Jana.

We're making God's way through our life, just trying to keep up with our precious children and glorify His name. Norah is "almost 4," Maggie is 2 years old, and Aaron will be 1 in June. Tim is a pastor of three small churches in rural Western Iowa. I am cook, nanny, maid, laundress, entertainer, teacher, and nurse. Come along with us on our silly goose Chase.
