Tomorrow marks five weeks since we left the USA. Five weeks of sleeping in five different homes. Five weeks of wearing skirts, and walking in flip flops (the kids have already worn through their first pairs and we had to purchase all new ones). Five weeks learning to value water and electricity, eating more beans and rice than we thought possible, sleeping under mosquito nets, and just absorbing our new culture. Five weeks – an eternity to some, a blink to others. Five weeks. I am pleased to share that after five weeks, we are still at peace with God’s call on our lives. We are united as a family and committed to loving each other through all the challenges and joys of this transition. Five weeks with Jesus makes all the difference. Thank you for continuing to encourage us and pray for us in these days. Please continue to pray for the warts on Sam’s and Josiah’s feet. We are trusting God to remove them in his time and give us the wisdom to help them. We are pleased that they do not seem to be inhibiting their play or walking now.© 2012 Missional Millers.

For the record, Joel has not been wearing any skirts.
From Grandma T:
Such a great update all our prayer and love come with this
From Diana Carty:
Continuing to pray for you Millers! Thanks for keeping us so well updated on your lives there. It will be great when you can finally settle in to your home and more permanent living situation. Glad for all that you are learning and for what you are being exposed to now. It is all building blocks for living in Africa. Soak it in! Peace be with you!
From Tari:
We miss you and the kids weekly count down until we’ll see you again. I keep telling them but they like to figure out how old everyone will be. We miss you all and think and pray for you lots.
From Wendy Lawton:
We’re praying for all of you. Such challenges! Of course we know the secret. We grow the least from the comfort of a cushy couch. It’s when we strap on our helmets and seatbelt ourselves in for a wild ride that the Lord becomes real to us. After this cross-cultural challenge your kids are going to have such confidence tucked under their belts they’ll be able to tackle most anything.
From Janice Chilcote:
Well, I’m disappointed to learn that Joel isn’t wearing skirts.
But glad to hear you are at peace. We are praying for you!
From Joyce Brown:

Our family is thinking of you all the time. The posts are wonderful and help us to really feel connected. I know how hard it is to put amazing experiences, both the beautiful and difficult, into words as you blog! We love you all and are always praying. Pass out the hugs to the kids from us.
