VERY surreal to say that we are leaving for PNG in just 8 days. (!)

| Packing for our tribal house. (Ziplocs!) Aiming to make wise decisions. In this photo, items have been inventoried. Next step is to pack them inside of each other, as condensed as possible! 🙂 Then we will label the inventoried containers and put them into our crate, which will be shipped this fall (probably), as soon as we know which tribe and region we will be serving in! |
Since most of you have moved permanently overseas, I’m sure you can imagine how busy we are trying to pack and sort through the rest of our belongings and tie up loose ends stateside. 🙂
And since we’ve done this before, we’ve definitely got the process all figured out. (um….)
In the midst of all this, we are enjoying making some last memories with family, friends, our churches and loved ones. Today (Saturday) was our annual Family Farewell party. We got both sides of our families together for a great afternoon of spending time together, water play in the yard, and smoked ribs/chicken! (Some of the family doesn’t know that the afternoon ended in a huge water fight, which included all of the grandparents getting soaked by large buckets of water!)

TOMORROW is our first of two Commissioning Services AND our first of two Open Houses. See the details below, and we really hope to see you to say ‘farewell’!
We are so proud of you! Love that picture of Lisa and dad. Beautiful!
