Packing and Moving Out

Posted by Delwyn and Arielle Griffith on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Ezra likes climbing on the bins

We are moving out of the apartment we have been staying in for the last four months.  The plan is to live with family and enjoy some quality time with them for the next month before we leave for Senegal.  As we move out of our apartment we are trying to fit our life into seven bags.  We ask for you to pray with us during this time of transition for our little family.  Let us know how we can be in prayer for you too!  We know life is not easy and we all have ways God is teaching us to trust and grow in Him.

Yesterday we said farewell to Zach and Sara who are dear friends of ours.  We have known Zach and Sara for a long time, and we went through missionary training with them!  It was a little sad to see them go, but we are thrilled to know why they are going.  We know that God will be using them in amazing ways as they trust him.  As Arielle, Ezra, and I walked from our car to say good bye it was crazy to think we will be doing the same thing when we leave for Senegal in about 5 months!

Highlights:

-TJ’s visit from Florida (He left today)

-Lily is staying for Arielle’s birth

-Enjoying our new apartment

-Del has one more Sunday of teaching Ephesians for Sunday School at our home church

This last Sunday was the first time we spoke at a church in the last 8 months.  We are thankful for this opportunity and encouraged to see God continue to raise our support.  It is also exciting to see God opening up new opportunities to speak at churches in our community.
