It is all most September and I feel like I should update our situation before I dig into our schooling and such. We had one eventful summer that began with our trip overseas to close down our life there. It was bitter-sweet. We said goodbye to friends, we sold all of our household belongings and still ended up with seven suitcases! We had an adventure, a scare (attack on our outgoing airport 2 days before we left), and some trouble on the plane. But we finally made it home....with at least four of our suitcases! (The rest followed in a few days.)
I was glad to be home. All through the trip planning and actual trip, I was fearful of some outcomes but God truly kept us safe through it all. He even spared us from the following coup. When we arrived, it was like we hadn't left. A friend and his family took us in and fed us the entire time we were there. It was such a blessing to share meals with them. They loved us, helped us, and fed us. We couldn't have done so many things without their aid.
A decade of our life overseas has come to an end. Bitter-sweet is the best word to describe our ending. We will truly miss our friends from our "other" country but we are also ready to begin again in our home country....however difficult that will be.
