Before, during & after: a whirlwind!

"Have a good rest" as Will and Donna step aside for a season to rest up
Praying for Jon and Ruth the new volunteer leaders of ICF
The next morning we had a leadership team meeting to start the year!

Richard is rejoicing because he is about to baptize two of his friends!


We had a great celebration!
























 
We also attended Mansfield Christian Fellowship the Sunday before leaving CT.  They were the first church to get behind us and support us financially after we joined ISI.  It was a blessing to have them pray for us and send us off after sharing our testimonies of what God has done for us.


There are no photos of the final days of packing, loading the moving van and trailer, and cleaning the house before the Friday closing.  Then we drove to VA amidst delays and violent thunderstorms. Did our walkthrough on the new house on Sunday afternoon and closed Monday morning.  After the movers left on Tues it took a few days to get our heads above water.  We still have boxes but I think there is a light.
The next Sunday we met with Lisa to talk about her ministry to I/S and how we can help.  Picture is from an earlier meeting ; )

Then Father God blessed us with a reunion with people we haven't seen in a long time.  Richard led his co-worker to Jesus many years ago and he is still faithfully following !  We enjoyed meeting his grands too!
