Tuesday Back In The Hangar

Hey, we made it home safe and sound yesterday evening and are now getting back into the swing of things. Karen started the day facing a mountain of laundry and then had the washing machine decide to turn into a waterfall filling, and filling until "the cup runneth over" so to speak. She has a call in to our local appliance repair shop and is finishing the laundry in our neighbor's washing machine.

I'm back at my desk trying to close-out the trip and re-integrate into the reality of MMS. While we were only gone for a week, it seems like we'd been away from home and from the mission for so much longer. It was/and is an odd feeling.

Speaking of the trip, our Sunday morning presentation at Ephrata Grace Brethren Church went well even though there was a hiccup with the embedded video in our PowerPoint presentation necessitating my acting out the video to include making airplane noises and "flying" around the sanctuary. Sorry you missed it! Or if you were there to see it, I hope you enjoyed it.

It was a blessing to meet the folks at Ephrata GBC and reconnect with Pastor Kim and his wife, Susan. They'd just returned from 3 weeks in Cambodia visiting their missionary son and daughter-in-law. Thanks for making us feel so welcome Ephrata!

Locally, our salsa garden is behind schedule with very few red tomatoes. It's kind of odd in that everything's coming in so much later after such a hot summer and last year, in the coolest summer in recent history, we already had two salsa canning sessions completed by this time.

Tucker and Tanner were glad to have us home. I need to get on them to write their article for the August issue of our Coshocton Flyer as August is almost OVER!

It's good to be home yet sometimes overwhelming at the same time. Thanks for your gifts and prayers!
