We made it!

Hello everyone! This is Alissa Kalczuk writing on behalf of the Reeves Family. This webite is blocked by the government so all of the wonderful blog updates you would have received will now come through email....

So....The Reeves made it to their destination. Carlos is with them to help with the transition. The plane rides went well. The first was 15 hours, the 2nd was 3. The girls did well and the Lord is sustaining Carissa. Please keep praying for her and this new little life she is carrying. They are at the apartment and getting settled in. They are on the 11th floor of their building and it has air conditioning! Yay! It is very hot and humid, so that is a blessing. The apartment has 2 bedrooms and a loft, so it's perfect. They are working on making it a home. They are 12 hours ahead of us, so that will help to know that as we lift them up daily.

Next week is orientation at the school, so a new life for the Reeves is getting started quickly. Pr**er requests are: For the whole family to adjust to the time as well as the culture, for Carissa to continue to have strength and to not feel sick, for Steve as he prepares to teach and for what is in store for other opportunities to share the good news and for them to begin to plug in to their surroundings and form relationships with the people around them.

Blessings to you all! Thank you for your love and pr**ers...
