Fresh View

Lay's first lollypop

"Half Term"  is a scheduled school break this week and we are giving our hosts in Luton a break from us! This means that Betsy and Wes have the pleasure of hosting us... :-) The girls are happy to go on adventures and have us read them things and show them pictures and clips. It's a lot of fun to see things through their young eyes and experience their fresh excitement. Each time an airplane flies by Lay Lay gets really excited!

Walk don't Run

Walking on Bunyan Way

Walk don't run is good advice. You have time while walking to enjoy creation and observe things you may miss at a faster pace. We have been reminded of this again as we were trying hard to find a flat quickly in our new UK location. Try as we may things didn't seem to unfold so quickly. Then we found that the Lord had a surprise house for us that would make the wait worth while and bring a blessing to us and others.

Smiles and Hugs

Happy Girls

Smiles and hugs all around as we celebrate new visas, a new school, Wes' new job and so on. We found an inexpensive ride to Bromley for the weekend, borrowed the air matress and had a jolly time with the family. Back in Luton we began the house search in earnest and it's hard to believe it's only been a week

Farewells

Tony K at Graduation

We've been saying our farewells to  friends and family this last week as we prepare to move to England for many months. A quick trip to Illinois to visit my parents (and help put on a new garage door), goodbyes at our church, phone calls to the children, dinner with neighbors, and of course a last run on the basketball court (where I received a sweaty hug from the guys). Truly the word "everyone who has left houses and family will receive a hundred times" can be seen in the many relationships that have come to us during our times serving in Mercy Ships and Ywam. These are true riches!
