We moved here on July 1st and all went well. We are renting the first floor and basement of a 2 family home. We live in a quiet neighborhood near the park and are getting to know our neighbors. During our first few weeks here we really felt like we were in another country with so many different languages all around us. Eli began speaking his own dialect of “Spanish”. Luckily he can translate for us. With people from all over the world, we were quickly reminded of whom our great country is made up.
We are adjusting now and can even find our way around town without getting lost every time we leave home. We are finding fun things to do like visits to Sandy Hook Shore, IKEA (a store with a ball pit for kids), Toys ‘R’ Us, every playground in the city, and of course visits to NYC. We’ve also made some great friends. There are several families at NYCR with young children. We are still church hunting, but have enjoyed the different churches and know God will take us to the right church home soon.
Our friends, Dennis and Jackie, that come to the bus every week in Manhatten.
