J and I arrived back in MO at 6:45 am last Friday morning. We were greeted by tons of slobbery, wet kisses from our Alaskan Malamute, Anna. We were sooo excited to see her!! J's parents also greeted us, which we were happy to see as well.
Saturday night, our S.School class welcomed us home with a Christmas/Welcome Home Party. It was wonderful to be home and see everyone! During the party, they gave us a scrapbook of pictures and encouraging words to take along with us on those hard days. We love it!!! (Thank you guys so much! You are the best!) Even though we are limited on luggage, the scrapbook will definitely make the trip with us.
Sunday, we were commissioned at Second, our home ch..rch. It was a special day for us as well as our families. We are overwhelmed and so grateful to have the support of so many as we prepare to make the transition to a new place. In the coming weeks, we will be meeting with our other supporters. It is so exciting to join together with others who share the same passion as we do.
It is hard to believe we have been home for a week now. Time is really flying by!! It is only a few short weeks until we head out.
J and I hope each of you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
