Goodbyes and See you laters have been the theme of the last couple of weeks. With a few other things sprinkled in. We have an amazing group of people we call framily who have loved on us and supported us. We are very thankful for them and are looking forward to continuing to hear from them and continuing to be a part of their lives. Technology is a wonderful thing!!
Here are a few of the things that kept us busy since our last blog post.
Got everything packed (well mostly) and ready to go either in a suitcase to go to South Africa, or in a bin to store or to be donated. (we still have two suitcases to repack and reorganize).
Flew to Denver and spent the Saturday night and Sunday with an amazing couple from the Lakewood Church of the Nazarene. We also had a great Faith Promise service at Lakewood and met some more amazing Nazarenes.
Spent every moment we could with our KC framily; which included lots of meals together, zip lining and several cookouts.
Had wonderful send off service at our home Church of Crosspoint Community Church of the Nazarene. There were lots of tears and hugs, a wonderful goodbye video and plans made for how we will stay connected.
Spent a week with fellow Missionaries who are either already serving, planning on serving or considering serving. It was a great week to focus on what we are getting ready to go and be a part of. Made some great friends there that will be friends for years to come.
Made flat Heath's and exchanged them with some of our framily so we can still "experience" life together.
With the help of some friends, loaded up the truck and tied everything down for our road trip. It was a little weird having most of our earthly belongings all packed in our little truck.
Had a great Faith Promise weekend in Webb City MO. And again meet some amazing Nazarenes who are working to love the community they are in.
Drove through the night Sunday from Webb City to arrive in Orlando and then took a long nap.
This week we are spending time with Joe's family, taking in a Boston Red Sox game, going to the beach, working on Thank you notes and finishing up packing. We are also spending time in prayer for the framily and ministries we are leaving behind here in the states and the framily and ministries we are going to be joining in South Africa.
So what filled up your days over the last two weeks. We would love to hear from you as well!
Until next time remember when on a long trip to limit your liquid intake if you don't want to do the potty dance while driving. :)
