The first thirty days of a sent one's arrival in a new place has the power to shape their entire first term---for better or worse. Unfortunately, many experience this tumultuous transition in a daze. Sending churches have the opportunity to help sent ones not only survive their landing in a new place, but to thrive there. This 3-page document provides a list of simple tasks that sent ones should seek to accomplish within their first thirty days. The tasks range from practical to fun, such as:

• Memorize your new phone number
• Practice public transportation routes
• Find wi-fi availability
• Explore local parks
