It is getting close to three weeks since I landed in Tunis, Tunisia. I am so excited to be officially moved into my new apartment with my friend Sam. She and I have both been living in limbo these past six months and so having our own rooms and space in general is very comforting.
Hopefully you all had a great Christmas celebration with family and friends gathered together. I was able to enjoy some holiday time with my IDEAS team here and also attended a wonderful Christmas Eve service at the International French Church. It was refreshing to be back in the lively worship environment of the beautiful black African style of praising our Lord.
Now that things are settled here I plan to be more frequent with updates on what all is going on. I plan to be traveling some soon so that will make for interesting tid-bits to share with you all as I adjust back to a culture here that is truly unique and precious in its own way but definitely provides a good opportunity for some laughs.
Lasltly for this post, but most certainly of great importance is my news about getting engaged! I unexpectedly met someone in the last couple months of being in America and God clearly had expedicious plans for our coming together. Our care for each other grew quickly and deeply in the final few weeks I had in California and as a realization of how far apart we would be soon, Isaac chose to propose within 24hours before I boarded my plane. Yes ladies, he is a hopeless romantic and in my opinion one of the best! It was a crazy time but one of the most certain decisions of my life. God has blessed us in finding each other, but we do have a hard road ahead so please keep us in your prayers.
I hope Isaac's and my obedience to the Lord's leading is inspirational for you today,
Laina
