It has been WAY too long since our last post and we have been very busy so it’s definitely time to give you an update! The last thing you heard from us was while we were still in Africa and a lot has changed since then.
After our 3 full months in South Africa, it was time to pack up our things and move yet again. We headed back to the States to wait on our visas for the UK. We had an amazing time with our family and friends and even got to stay around long enough for Thanksgiving. While home, Bryan’s great-grandmother and my grandmother passed away within 1 week of each other. It was amazing to see God’s perfect timing in bringing us back home during that specific time. It was clear that even though we lost 2 people we loved very dearly, God still blessed us in a very special way by providing a way to be there for both families. Our God is so good!
So, to continue our journey, we got our UK visas and flew across the pond the beginning of December. It was a whole new world with lots of rain and the sun setting around 4 in the afternoon. We moved into a beautiful flat with only a 5 minute walk to our office and a 10 minutes walk into town. It was also our first Christmas away from home! But we made the best of it by enjoying each other’s company and eating tons of good food. We had little time to settle in before we went on our next trip to Mumbai, India. And shortly after that, Bryan went to Haiti. So, as you can see, we have stayed busy, not only with traveling, but also with getting used to the new culture surrounding us.
That about sums up our first 2 ½ months in the UK! We have been visiting several churches in our area and we think we have found a good one to start attending. Eventually, we would like to start a home group for young adults from that church and in the community so please be praying for that opportunity. We are also very excited about our friend, Dustin McClure, coming to visit us for a week! Pray for his safe travel and that we’ll all have a good time of fellowship and encouragement with each other. We are doing very well and waiting for warmer weather. These gray, rainy days make us miss the sunny south!
** We have several projects and stories to share with you, so we will post another update next week with links to website, videos, and photos **
We love you all!
