We learned how to pasteurize our own milk today! Most of the stores sell milk in a carton on the shelf that isn’t quite real 😝 so we found a farmer who brings in warm milk from his own cows in the morning to sell! We bought a few gallons and brought it home, where our dear Tammy taught us to pasteurize!
Today we bought meat from the butcher, got more familiar with our town and driving, and played outside with the kids. We are almost finished unpacking! Last night we were invited to some fellow missionary’s house for dinner, where we ate next tot he most beautiful view! Jarabacoa is filled with greenery, rivers, and mountains. 😍 It was so refreshing to connect with another family who understands our position in moving, transitioning, parenting, learning, and discomfort. We made sure to lock them in as friends! 😉
Thank you so much for checking in on us, praying for us, and walking with us. God has been faithful and has held our hand through this first week. Next week we look forward to new staff training. 💕 My heart is tender as I leave my boys with a “stranger” so early on, even while I trust and love them! As well, we are nervous about this next step of learning and growing. While we know it will be GOOD and FULL and God led, it is still hard + overwhelming + a bit painful. We are so grateful to have each other and our boys and the Lord walking us forward. Xoxo. Lisa.
