Packing

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to give a short update on what we have been up to. For the past few weeks we have been doing a lot of traveling visiting a few different churches and saying goodbye to family before we move back to Texas. We started our trip in North Jersey to visit my (Michele) family. We were able to celebrate my grandmother's 70th birthday. Next was a trip to the Adirondack Mountains where Chris' brother and family lives. Chris had the opportunity to preach up there at one of our supporting churches, Adirondack Bible Chapel. We enjoyed fellowship with our brothers and sisters there but also some sad goodbyes. The last leg was to central Jersey, Chris' parents house and home church, Fellowship Bible Church. Chris and I were able to share about To Every Tribe during Sunday School and then Chris preached during Sunday Service there on July 25.

This past weekend we made a trip to York, PA to speak at a new church we met, Springwood Chapel. We enjoyed meeting new people and having the opportunity to share about To Every Tribe, the misson's work we do and Chris again was able to preach there Sunday morning. Since we were sort of in the area we stopped to spend a few days with Chris' grandmother up near State College. It was nice to spend a few days with her and learn some more about Chris' family roots. This was especially interesting to me as I am beginning to work on a family tree for both of our families. I was grateful for his grandmother's good memory!

We are currently busy packing up our apartment. We will be leaving to drive back to Texas on August 19th. Just two short weeks from today. We hope to drive straight from New Jersey to Alabama and then there to Los Fresnos, TX. This will make for two VERY VERY long days in the car but we are excited to get back into the swing of things in Texas and Mexico. We should arrive in Texas on Aug 20th.

Blessings,
Michele
