This week has been in fast-forward! We drove around all day Monday picking up our possessions from various locations with a rental truck. Then on Tuesday we drove to Philadelphia to work on packing everything for the container all day Tuesday and Wednesday. We knocked out the bulk of the work with re-packing everything, making the shipping manifest, and organizing everything for the container. This will enable us to do a quick transition when its time to pack the container. We were told we would be given a two day notice OR a two week notice when its time to pack the container… so, we have to be ready for the call. We arrived back home in Pittsburgh after 3:30am Thursday in order to see Seth’s grandparents and parents for a meal.
Packing & Friends Being a Blessing
As we write this we are packing (again) to go to a missions emphasis weekend at a supporting church, and then to speak at another supporting church Sunday night. Nicole shares at a ladies Tea, and Seth speaks at a men’s prayer breakfast. Finding time to prepare for messages can be a challenge but God is gracious and supplies just what we need at the right time.
We want to say thank-you to everyone who gave towards our registries! You guys wowed us! We don’t want to list everyone in case we miss someone, but know we appreciate the love you lavished upon us, we feel like spoiled kids. Thank you so much for, as our pastor says, “putting wind in our sails”.
Speaking of registries and time winding down, we have one-week left on our registries… we need to receive everything before the 18th of April. We do not want to play it too close to the wire, and don’t want anyone to buy something and we are not able to bring it. SO if you are interested in being a part of this, see below. Thank you for blessing us!
