The last several months and especially the last few weeks
have been well, let me think, busy, no that doesn’t seem to cover it. How about chaotic, no that seems too
negative. Since every day for the last
forever, it seems, we have been on the go from morning to night trying to get
ready, I think a good word is constant.
From getting simple home repairs completed, to selling many of our possessions,
to storing some things we chose to keep for our return, to taking loads to the
Open Door Mission, to the kids finishing school, to wrapping up my career and
helping train the new guy, to closing accounts and opening new ones, to on and
on and on….
We finally have a chance to take a breath and look back at
this time and rejoice because all the preparation and rushing around came to a
screeching halt at 11:10am this morning (Monday April 14, 2014) when the wheels
of our Regional Jet left the ground. I
think our family and friends felt much of the busyness as they have been at our
house off and on (probably more on than off) helping us do everything. We can’t say thank you enough to them. They have supported us in prayer and in
assistance so much through this stage of our Mission. Without their help, we would still need a few
more months to prepare. I don’t know how
you help someone you love leave the country, when deep down you don’t want them
to go. But they did it, over and over
again, selfless and giving and supportive.
We love you all and will miss you dearly!! I know it is not enough, but THANK YOU!
We will keep you posted as we get settled into our new home
and way of life.
