Normally when I think of transition I think of a huge
upheaval of everything at once. New house in a new country with a new job,
having to find new ways to shop and get around and cook, wash, relax etc etc.
But at the moment most things are the same, happily so, with
just a few changes taking place.
We have been living in the same town in the same house for
over two years now!
Day to day things are so much easier when you have things
set up , habits in place. All the normal stuff just sort of happens by itself
instead of taking so a great amount of effort and planning.
We have friends and groups that we are part of
on a regular basis. We know where to get food, and we have a stove and other
things in our kitchen so we can cook. Soeun
a has regular-ish working week from sat arvo to wednesday night. I have weekly Bible study and sort of weekly
playdates. We know where to go for fun, or when to find out obscure
information. It’s so nice to not have moved house or had a baby for a couple of
years now.
However at the same time, change is happening! I’m starting
to be able to get back into things that were a big feature of my first years
here that I haven’t been able to do in recent years. The further in time we get
from when Soeun was sick , the better he is, and the older the kids get the
less they need me, so I’m finding more opportunities to ride my bike and to sit
in Khmer church again.
