Our car and brains are pointed to the East. Today we are visiting with Andy's brother's family. Tomorrow we'll be in the house we'll live in for the next year. We've had a wonderful summer visiting with friends and churches but we are so ready to unpack the van and settle into our home.
I have found in our missionary career that when the car is pointed for home, my stress really picks up. This seems opposite of what should be true. But when you are on the road you are not living a real life. There is no house to clean, meals to prepare or kids to get to school. Only laundry is our traveling companion.
Please pray for us in this next week as we settle in: to a new town, to a new church and to new friends. Pray as the girls begin school next Tuesday, September 5. Natalie is the most nervous about this new experience, but I'm sure Elissa feels it too.
We feel so blessed with the summer and all that God has done for us. Thanks for your continued prayers.
