Definition of TRANSTION as shared in a recent newsletter from missionaries who have recently moved to East Africa: “It will take some time to feel at home here, but it was great to unpack our suitcases after being ‘homeless’ for weeks … but language study will take us away from our new ‘home’ for a few weeks … East Africans are more conservative and quieter than our former people... But many things are the same. Electricity is very expensive, but more constant... We are learning to drive on the opposite side of the road* …and adjusting to the greater time difference from our kids… 8 hours … when it is morning for the US east coast it will be almost evening for us.” Join this couple in praying that their ‘transition’ will go easy, so they can focus on doing their work in our Father’s Harvest Field.

** Today’s photo was taken by an MK who lives beside the new family to East Africa. It is a view not seen in many parts of the US, but common in East Africa of an “Inflorescence also known as the banana heart …The banana fruits develop from the banana heart.” (Wikipedia/Banana)
