Settling In

Yay! We officially made it to New Haven. The drive was filled with construction, pretty empty roads and much anticipation. We landed at the house of the Yale CHI ALPHA (an assemblies of God college outreach program) leaders. We are so grateful to them for their generosity, warmness, friendship, meals and air mattress!
My interview at Christian Heritage School went well and we will see what happens. I learned that it will be a part time position so I am still looking for extra work. We would appreciate your prayers in this regard.
After some confusion with the move in date for our apartment, we got the keys the morning after we arrived.  Moving into an apartment with only duffel bags and camping chairs isn't hard but you can imagine what our apartment looks like. Through the help of the Target, Kohls, the Chi Alpha leaders and the Goodwill outlet store ( we got a 99 cent kitchen table, rocking chair and end table from here) we are slowly making our apartment like a home!

We have been so busy getting everything set up here and going from office to office to be able to explore much of Yale besides the Divinity school. The campus itself is really what the city of New Haven is centered around. It is old and beautiful. We look forward to exploring the libraries, buildings and underground tunnels.
During our first few days here we have managed to get honked at probably 10 times. We have heard the stoplights described here as guidelines as people feel free to continues through an intersection even if the light has been red for 3 seconds. Overall, it has been a great week and we have learned a lot. We look forward to the rest of our time here.
