Settling in

After all of the travelling around over the past couple of weeks, we are finally settling in to life in Prague.  Dorit came out last Wednesday and I followed on Friday after a couple of meetings in the UK related to the study centre.  Thank you for all your prayers for us; all the travelling went well but it is good to have arrived!  The flat is gradually being sorted - Dorit was in IKEA today buying shelves!! - and with pictures going up on the walls it is beginning to look and feel a bit more like home.
This next week has been put aside for practical things like settling up a bank account, arranging internet access and buying our passes for the Prague public transport.  Please pray for these things, not particularly exciting but needed for 'normal' life (though I quite like having to come down to our local cafe in order to catch up with emails!).
We were at ICP on Sunday; it was good to be part of the service there in what is now our home church.  They were very welcoming and we are looking forward to working with and for them over the next few years.
Robert and Lucy have arrived safely in India, which is another answer to prayer.  The temperature there is just a touch different from that in Prague.
