Settling in the US

 Months have passed since we moved to the US and a lot has happened from the time we stepped off that plane December 15th. I am now a US resident, so I can come and go as I please, in and out of the US. I have a paid job which has been a new experience for me. I am now a father!! Wow, it's surreal that I have a son. What the future holds for us as a family has been a thought on my mind.

 Becoming a US resident is a long a painful process, no wonder people that are in the US illegally are so leery about becoming legal. By the grace of God we had a Christian lawyer, Mr. Charles Phipps, who helped us through the process, a tremendous blessing. The interview portion of my residency went so smoothe. We drove from Green Bay to Milwaukee to the Homeland Security Office. We then had to sit and wait for the interview, we went in and the interviewer asked some mundane questions which we answered, it was over in seven minutes. Talk about the grace of God over our lives. We have indeed seen God every step of the way since we left Belize.

  We found out we were pregnant right before we left Belize, which we felt was just another conformation God was saying it was time to go. We came to the US with a lot of questions of how we would pay for this baby. Which God worked all the details out and we didn’t have to worry about it. Alyssa's pregnancy went smooth without complications. On August 4^th at 8:02pm we had a beautiful boy, Elias Samuel Myrie. It was so joyous to behold something so precious. Isn’t God so amazing to create a child and the process He goes through to make it perfect?  

 Right after I got my permission to work in the US a friends of ours, Aaron and Oriana told us that a company, Neville’s was hiring. So, I filled out an application and the owner called me back a week later and told me to come for an interview. I went in and he asked a bunch of questions about what I use to do and if I was a good worker. I told him I was a missionary and I would do the best I could, he told me to come back the next day for work. Every time I need provision, God just does something and makes stuff happen.

 The future is unclear but one thing we know is God has us here for such a time as this. We may not understand what He is doing but I am so glad He does. The main thing I am working on is to finish my G.E.D and move on from there. We are ready for what ever God has. Life is an adventure filled with the unexpected and the expected but most of all with relationships.
