The packing and moving were fairly unexciting. In our drive to New York, we kept looking at each other and saying, “Are we really moving to Queens, NY?” The excitement really began in trying to navigate our 26’ truck and auto trailer through these very narrow streets. The Lord was good. We unpacked and had lots of helpers from the church doing the hard labor. They made quick work of the 23 feet of furniture and “stuff.” It was a relief to get rid of the truck.We were/are exhausted.
Today we ventured out to Aldi. The photos below were taken waiting in traffic on Junction Blvd, Northwest Blvd and on 31st Ave. where the church is. If you look closely on one of them, you’ll see the Empire State Building. Some parts of what we see every day reminds me of old Milwaukee growing up.
The Empire State Building is at the end of our street too.
Laura and I are looking forward to eating here.
These homes are near and across from the church.
Laura and I are thankful the Lord allowed us to get here early to ease in, get culture shock and be ready to serve here.
Pray for Laura who will begin Tuesday as part-time church secretary. I’ll be looking over her shoulder trying to learn the ins and outs of the church.
Dan and Laura
