hello all. this is my first attempt at a post. i have enjoyed reading each of yours. we have been here in england for almost 8 months. hard to believe. we have been enjoying many things but also having a hard time with other things. the kids miss friends and family but are slowing making friends here. we still feel very temporary at our present address…which makes it hard to feel settled…which isn’t a new feeling for us but it does become wearying. we see God leading in amazing ways and should feel content — and do for the most part — but still wonder where we ‘fit’ and what our ‘final’ location will be. we are thrilled to be here and have many conversations about the crazy way the Lord got us here. life is certainly an adventure and we wouldn’t change our part in it for anything! we miss being with you at gatherings…in fact it is hard not to be jealous!! how about you all coming here!?! love to all of you

We miss you guys. WE have been talking about a family reunion and are wondering when we’ll see you all again. We have been looking at airline prices to England and are disappointed that it costs so much for 5 of us. We’ll keep praying about that and that God would get you all to your “final” location sooner than later.

Another family reunion would be great. Are you all scheduled to come back for “Home Ministry Assignment” any time?

Alan,
We miss you all. We wish it we wish we could come see you. James has an new apple g5 so we can do a video meeting anytime. That will be nice.
Gary,
Since we’re not technically with World Harvest Mission (they only collect the $$ and send it to Grace Fellowship here), we don’t have any HMA plans or requirements. I do plan to be back in the States some time this year for a missions conference in Baltimore, and hope to spend some time networking with a couple of churches in Chattanooga.

What is James’ IM address so we can look for a time to chat?
