Arrived, Safe & Sound







I have arrived in New York City thanks to the intrepid work of my best friend Sandy!! I arrived last Friday (8/22)in New Hampshire and visited my Mom until Thursday (8/28). I went to Sandy's and we transferred all of my belongings from my car to her mini van. Friday morning we embarked on our drive to NYC. All went well until we were about 17 miles from our destination. Route 95 was backed up and we barely moved for 15 minutes so we got off in the Bronx and took surface streets to 35th & Madison (in Manhattan). We arrived about two hours later, frazzled but proud!!

The apartment is terrific, larger than I thought it to be with ample space for books, two clothes closets and a large storage closet. The three flights of stairs up to it will, in Sandy's words, guarantee that by years end I will have "buns of steel".

Today I went to services at Community Church and met lots of terrific people. It was a pretty strong turnout for Labor Day weekend. I am so excited to begin my Ministry here, I think it is destined to be an awesome year!!!

Tomorrow I think I will explore the city, more later on my adventures.

Peace & Blessings,
Suzanne
