Our reunion

We left from Sunbury on Wednesday afternoon and began the journey home. It struck me that in the 1920's when Howard's Aunt left for the mission field her trip was months long. I wondered at the stamina that these first missionary had and the dedication they showed to the work God place before them. I am in awe of their sacrifice. We have been told that people think the same of us but for us it is really so much easier. Being able to fly instead of traveling by ship not to mention all the amenities that are available now. Anyway........
it is now Sunday and I want to let you know we look better than this :-)
This was the end of the trip, Thursday.




The trip was Only 24 hours and I must tell you it was bitter sweet for me.
I felt as if I was leaving home with the possibility of never returning. Now if I was actually headed to my eternal home that would joy, but that was not the case. My heart is now divided between these two earthly places and the new family I have there.

We came back to the joyous faces of our little grands, Micah was there too, and oh yes so were Adam, Erin, Amy and Dale. As you can see we had wonderful welcome home pictures.





It was great to have all the hugs and kisses that had been saved up for the last nine months. There were stories and pictures and stories and more pictures. They spent a lot of time preparing for us. We were thrilled. They have grown so much and some have become a little more outgoing.




We will be leaving St Louis a week from today to head to Zion, our first home, and hope to be there for about 6-8 weeks. You know we have to share our time with all the kids and at this point the St. Louis group feels a little slighted.

We aren't sure what is ahead for us and are praying that God will show us what he has for us in the way of service. So with that said I would like to ask you to continue to pray that We will see Gods guiding hand in our lives and answer, "Yes Lord Yes to wherever He leads."
