The beginning of the end...

or it could be the rush before the new beginning... We have just come back from 8 weeks of orientation in Richmond, Va, at the International Learning Center. I will talk about that experience at another time.

We have been appointed by IMB, and will be moving to Lisbon, Portugal, at the end of July, and the whole process has been quite a trip! The ride is not over as we have to pack, crate, and empty out our home of almost 20 years.

Right now we have approximately 4 or 5 more weeks (Lord willing) before we get on a plane, fly across the ocean and begin to experience a new way of life than what we now know - small town to big city; large home to small apartment; green hills and clouds to the sun and the sea; English to Portuguese; face to face with family to mostly Skype and email. So many changes, and some may take some time to adjust to, but it is exciting to know that we are on this journey with the Lord going before us.
