These are all taken from the airplane as we were approaching and then landing.
All of our traveling went really well. All of our luggage got here too! It was so cool flying in and seeing our new home for the first time! It is so beautiful here. It is so green. I love the peak of the ocean you get when you look through the trees. On the drive from the airport I just looked out the window and couldn't believe that I was actually here.
Johnny and I were on two different buses. It was okay though because I was in a bus with a family from the branch. Everyone said the drive from the airport makes everyone sick, but it really wasn't bad. Driving on the other side of the road was a little startling at first, but you get used to it. We got to the housing Department and they fed us and then we got our luggage. They took us to our apartment and we started unloading, but our landlord came and offered us the apartment upstairs. It looks like it has been remodeled more recently and has a better kitchen and bathroom, so we decided to move up there. We had to wait to do it because it hadn't been cleaned yet. We went out after that to explore and to find an internet cord. We had to go all the way to Portsmouth. We defiantly got our walking done yesterday. We came home and relaxed for awhile and then got in contact with some people from the branch. They invited us to a dinner at another member's house. We went over there and had a great time getting to know people. We got back home and my sponsor Monique had left a note asking us to stop by. We went over there and met her and her husband. by the time we got home it was midnight and I was exhausted.
Our first day here was great and I hope to have many more days like it!
