Well, it is about that time! Trip two of two comes in just a couple of days… as of right now we are scheduled to pack the container on Friday at 10:00am, as long as there are no hiccups. This is a shipping company and it is going around the world so things do come up… even though the title of this blog is called “trip 2 of 2”, number 3 is our number today. 3 days from today we pack the container in Philadelphia, and in 3 weeks from today we arrive in Vanuatu! Our time is dwindling away, piece by piece things are coming together; insurances, taxes, communication, packing and much more is coming to an end. And then, back to our dream job 🙂 .
On the Road Again…
We had a blessed Resurrection weekend worshiping our Risen Lord at our home church; from Good Friday service to Sunrise service to a packed out main service it was a time to rejoice in our Risen Saviour corporately. Christians ought not to be sorrowful people, but joyful people knowing our Lord is alive! For us it was very special. Before this furlough, we had not been in American church services for over two years, and we are not sure when our next time will be, so we have been soaking in the teaching, singing, and all the details people put into each service.

We have two more Sundays in America, Seth preaches this Sunday night at our home church, and then the following week, we have an ice-cream social after the night service on the 30th. That will be our last chance to say good-bye to everyone and we hope you all (or at least many of you-we understand we have friends in many states 🙂 ) can make it to both events! We are super excited for the opportunity to share with our home church and then say good-bye to everyone. The time has gone by really fast, and we are sorry for those of you who we were not able to see during this trip, we will make it a point to see you all next time! Do know we love and appreciate you all, we are so thankful for your partnership in our ministry.
We also want to say thank you to everyone who donated things to our ministry, and for those of you who purchased things on our registries, we do not take your gifts and sacrifices for granted, we truly appreciate your love that you lavished upon us! Thank you for being a part to complete all of our registries and help us furnish our tribal house in Vanuatu! We have been soooo blessed by you all!
Your feet to the unreached, Seth and Nicole Stokes.
