We&#8217;re in our last week of packing and preparations and last-minute meetings, with lots of goodbyes.  It&#8217;s good to hurt a little bit at saying goodbye because it means we&#8217;ve invested in so many lives and are leaving a piece of ourselves behind. And this is a time to reflect on what we&#8217;ve seen God do in the lives of many people.  So we are thankful.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t fully understand what&#8217;s going on, but they know that a lot of their toys are being packed and they don&#8217;t like that!  We&#8217;re thankful that we&#8217;re almost done with this process, but there&#8217;s still much work to be done.<\/p>\n<p>Our plans are to drive up the Gulf coast of Mexico and spend a week in central Texas with some close friends.  We&#8217;ll then head up to Barbara-Lee&#8217;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&#8217;s office, attending a conference, and visiting supporters on the way.  Lord willing by mid-August we&#8217;ll be settling into Tacoma and making preparations to visit supporters this year. \t <\/p>\n<p>PRAISE<br \/>\n1. \tThat God has let us serve Him for this time in Puebla.<br \/>\n2. \tFor the &#8220;adventures&#8221; He will be sending us this summer.<br \/>\n3. \tHealth (yes!  no stuffed up noses for, like, two weeks now!) and help as we move.<\/p>\n<p>PRAYER<br \/>\n1. \tMoving: Strength, patience (with one another!), presence of mind, organization, all those things you need.<br \/>\n2. \tSafety on the road: Our drive up to the States, crossing the border, driving in the U.S. (big adjustment!)<br \/>\n3. \tChurch: Pray for Comunidad B\u00edblica as we leave, that God will be glorified in His church.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll try to keep you posted regularly as we travel.  Next update from&#8230;Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Tim, Barbara-Lee, Drew, Gavin, Fiona<br \/>\n<div style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theglessners.org\/photos\/2009-04Apr\/images\/OurFam.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Our Fam in the springtime\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theglessners.org\/photos\/2009-04Apr\/thumbnails\/OurFam_sm.jpg\" title=\"Our Fam in spring\" width=\"200\" height=\"140\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our Fam in the springtime<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a1Adios! \u00a1Nos vemos!
