¡Adios! ¡Nos vemos! | |
Those are sort of sad words we're hearing a lot of these days. We're in our last week of packing and preparations and last-minute meetings, with lots of goodbyes. It's good to hurt a little bit at saying goodbye because it means we've invested in so many lives and are leaving a piece of ourselves behind. And this is a time to reflect on what we've seen God do in the lives of many people. So we are thankful. | |
Tonight is our last night in our house. Tomorrow the movers come (friends from church, missionaries with a trailer) and we will be moving our furniture to storage for a year. Drew is sad, and Gavin and Fiona don't fully understand what's going on, but they know that a lot of their toys are being packed and they don't like that! We're thankful that we're almost done with this process, but there's still much work to be done. |
|
Our plans are to drive up the Gulf coast of Mexico and spend a week in central Texas with some close friends. We'll then head up to Barbara-Lee's family in Pennsylvania, spend some time re-connecting with them, then from mid-July to mid-August drive west to Tacoma, checking in at EBM's office, attending a conference, and visiting supporters on the way. Lord willing by mid-August we'll be settling into Tacoma and making preparations to visit supporters this year. | |
PRAISE |
|
1. | That God has let us serve Him for this time in Puebla. |
2. | For the "adventures" He will be sending us this summer. |
3. | Health (yes! no stuffed up noses for, like, two weeks now!) and help as we move. |
PRAYER |
|
1. | Moving: Strength, patience (with one another!), presence of mind, organization, all those things you need. |
2. | Safety on the road: Our drive up to the States, crossing the border, driving in the U.S. (big adjustment!) |
3. | Church: Pray for Comunidad Bíblica as we leave, that God will be glorified in His church. |
We'll try to keep you posted regularly as we travel. Next update from...Texas.
Tim, Barbara-Lee, Drew, Gavin, Fiona
