We're so close to moving into our flat! I'm so excited. It's in an absolutely gorgeous part of town with amazing views and shops everywhere. God truly blessed us with this flat because we didn't think we'd be able to afford something quite this nice, but God definitely provided.
We move in on Saturday, but we're working hard to get everything settled before then. As we speak, Tom is meeting with the landlord to work out all of the furnishing which will hopefully be there shortly after our arrival. I can't wait to decorate :)
I will miss the closeness with the team in one central location though. It's been so nice being able to wake up every morning and share devotions together and really grow close together spiritually as well as emotionally.
Funny story- this whole money difference is difficult to get used to. Yesterday, we went to the restaurant and it was Jo's turn to handle the check to practice. After paying the bill, we told her to give the waiter 500 forents which is a little more than the average of 10% tip here. Before we know it, Jo is handing the waiter a 5,000 forent which is equivalent to about $25!!!! Luckily, I caught her right before the waiter walked away and got everything straightened out. It was so funny though!
I'm all too positive that these funny stories will be a regular occurence.
