The refugee family that we are helping to sponsor arrived! They have two cute kids and were all very tired and overwhelmed. We met them at the airport with the translator and bombarded them with smiles and handshakes and gifts, and then took them to their new apartment which we furnished and decorated last week. It is in a complex with a lot of other Burmese and Asian families, so hopefully that will help them adjust. I don't know how much I am allowed to share about this family, so I won't give any details, but we are very excited to have finally met them! The plan is to periodically take them food, take them shopping, or whatever they need to help them get adjusted to a new culture and a new language.
Please pray that they will be able to learn the culture and language quickly, that the dad will be able to find a job, and for their general well being. Also that we would know how to help them!
