Some might be asking, \u201cWhere did they go?\u201d\u00a0 We decided back in September that our season of indecision had lasted too long and began the phase of transitioning out of the mission, Ethnos360. This was a difficult decision that involved much prayer and counsel from our wonderful home staff in Sanford, FL and McNeal, AZ. Thankfully leadership has designed this to be a 90 day transition period because it isn\u2019t simple.<\/p>\n

Almost two months into this transition period and we believe we have seen Andrea\u2019s mom\u2019s (Diana) health improve. We live in the finished basement of her home and are very involved in her healing process, doctors appointments, physical therapy, etc. Diana would agree that although she has met her own physical goals of post shoulder surgery that she still has a ways to go. However, it is encouraging to see her push herself towards independence.<\/p>\n
We want to say a BIG thank you for your faithful prayers and personal support. We have been able to connect with many of you over these last 23 months and we appreciate the love and fellowship you share with us.\u00a0 Please continue to pray for us that we be open, obedient and trusting in our Lord as we walk through this return process. Our plans, right now, include spending<\/span> Christmas and perhaps New Year\u2019s with Paul\u2019s parents in Kansas. This will be another road trip and in the heart of winter this time.<\/p>\n We have much to accomplish before our return to PNG early next year (Feb-Mar). Supplies to buy, next size kids clothes, laptops for mom and dad, airline tickets for four, dentist & doctor appointments (the adults need polio boosters!) and the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n One big \u201cto-do\u201d item relates to Diana.\u00a0 With us gone she is going to need more help and we don\u2019t want it all to fall on Andrea\u2019s sister (who also lives with Diana) or our dear neighbor, Kathy.\u00a0 We will be looking for a dependable handyman\/lawn care person, an agency to use for transportation to her many doctor appointments and also maybe someone who can help offer assistance here and there for minor \u201csenior issues.\u201d<\/p>\n Just before Christmas Paul will finish working as a contract aircraft mechanic.\u00a0 This will give him more time to help with all these preparations.\u00a0 Andrea will continue to homeschool Phoebe and Joshua.\u00a0 Pray for us in this process that we trust the Lord with each twist and turn.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some might be asking, \u201cWhere did they go?\u201d\u00a0 We decided back in September that our season of indecision had lasted too long and began the phase of transitioning out of the mission, Ethnos360.

Phoebe and Joshua are excited about the possibility of getting back to our \u201cred house\u201d in Papua New Guinea (PNG) at the mission support center. We finally figured out why Joshua calls our off-white multi-shaded house this: it\u2019s the color that our front and back porches were stained.\u00a0 When you are 3 years old all you see going in and out is what\u2019s right in front of you. The red porches becomes our \u201cred house\u201d.<\/p>\nBusy Days Ahead<\/span><\/h3>\n
