We are finally back in the States. Although we had a two hour delay and poor communication with British Airways, we were grateful for the couple extra days to get some rest since, we had pulled a few late nights last week. Of course Andrew's parents were very happy to see us and hear all about our summer, but of course, just like parents, they followed the blog with hawk eyes ;-)
Unfortunately, our trip to Michigan had to be cancelled due to our original flight delay. Although we've been back for three days now, we (or at least I) are still trying to get over jet lag. I thought for sure that jet lag would not be an issue this time round due to the stop over in England on our way back, but that is not the case. We end up going to bed earlier than usual and getting up early before the alarm goes off.
While we've been back, we've been doing laundry, unpacking bags, writing the summer newsletter, making fall contacts, sending emails, going through two months of mail and getting all set for our first set of presentations this weekend. We will be back on the road Thursday, heading to Louisiana for our first visit and update with Westview Christian Church. We look forward to catching up with JM2Z partners while there, as well as introducing Andrew to the church body, in person.
We had originally planned to leave directly from LA to travel across country, but we still have a few things we need to sort out before we make the road trip to visit everyone else. Therefore, we plan to be coming back to Wheaton IL, on Monday for a few days or possibly the week, before getting on the road for the fall schedule.
If you know we'll be in your area this fall, feel free to give us a call so we can visit in person. You can contact us above on one of the contact buttons, via FB or email.
We are grateful for traveling mercies back to the US. We are thankful that Andrew's parents gathered all our mail, picked us up at the airport, and continue to be gracious hosts to us since we are officially homeless until our return in January :-) We ask that you be in prayer for us as we visit with churches, friends, and fellow partners both this coming week and in the months to follow. Please join us in prayer for safety as we travel and prepare our many speaking engagements. If you would like to host us in your home during our travels, please contact us.
We have four months left before our permanent return to Zimbabwe, and more than $150,000 left to raise. We know that all things are possible with Christ Jesus, and so we ask that you both pray for us and with us as we embark on our busy schedule for the fall.
Looking forward to seeing you, catching up over a cup of coffee/tea, enjoying a good meal together or being a guest in your home.
