We’re Back!

We’re back!

After 27 days of traveling, sleeping in different beds, setting up the pack n’ play a million times, eating on the road, and seeing LOTS of family and friends, we are finally back in Sarasota, Florida!  We had a great time, but man, it is NICE to sleep in our own beds and stay in one place again!

… for a couple of months anyway.  And did I say our own beds?  Actually they are borrowed beds… borrowed beds that belong to this great condo we are using. This place has definitely become home for our family this year, and we are so grateful!  The longer we are missionaries, the easier it is to feel "at home" in places that aren’t really ours… simply because we’ve moved so much!  And the next time we will be making a home, we will be in the Philippines!  How exciting is that!

The rest of our trip went pretty well.  We definitely didn’t accomplish all of the packing we meant to…. Joel and I both caught a combination of colds and stomach bugs that kept us pretty well grounded during our last week in Atlanta.  We rallied our strength on the last day to put all of our belongings in the trailer, along with our special Philippine packing boxes, and we drove it all back here to Florida to be packed in the next few weeks. We are just grateful that the important and time-consuming job of sorting all our STUFF got accomplished.

We are praising God for safe travels, and we are also praising Him for keeping our girls completely healthy when everyone around them was sick! Only God can do that!

So the journey continues.  We are still praying about a departure date (sometime in July), and keeping an eye on plane ticket prices.  We are also continuing to watch God provide for our monthly needs as we get closer to going.  We are still in need of about $1700 per month.  If you feel led to partner with us financially or in prayer, please click on the contact icon at the top right.
