Coming Home Early

As most everyone knows we are coming home early.  The plan was for Heather and the kids to come home June 30th and I would follow July 15th after packing up our house.  However, God had other plans.  Two weeks ago Heather visited the Dr. and just after the appointment had some minor problems that arose.  Our medical staff is very cautious and they decided we must go on medical leave immediately.  We have spent the last week and a half packing up our house and trying to say our goodbyes and at the same time get things set up for the time where we are not here and to make sure a plan was in place to meet the teams that are coming to do ministry in May and June.  As most of you know we are very torn.  We love our family and friends in the USA, but we also love our family and friends here in Abidjan.  We ask that you pray for us that we will be able to finish packing our house and saying our goodbyes.

We do have needs and prayer request.  Coming home early means that we do not have a van to drive or any type of transportation.  My father has told us we can use his vehicles some, but we really need one that would be at our disposal when we needed it.  Please pray that someone would step up and help us get a van that we can drive.  We also will be staying with my parents as we do not have a house of our own to stay in until July 1st.  That means we will be a month and a half crowding out my parents small house.  We do not want to inconvenience anyone, but it seems that is exactly what we will be doing.  Please pray for a safe flight back tot he states.  We will see you soon. 

God Bless.

Mike
