US Visit #1

Wow. We've had a fast-paced stay in New Hampshire (first go-around). We spent the first week frantically packing to get our shipment boxes ready. This entailed going through all our State-side stuff and deciding what goes, what gets kept, and what gets eliminated. Of course this week was one of the hotest I can recall. The garage was registering between 95 to 104F for most of the week.

Once we had finished with the boxes and they were (manually) loaded onto the truck (Thursday) we finished prepping for our yard sale (Saturday). Of course on that day New Hampshire tried to remind us of Guatemala when it had a deluge of rain which flooded Meridian Drive. Ed and Ruth both commented that they've never seen anything like that there before.

Both our first Sunday and second Sunday back we worshiped at Dover Baptist Church. It was great to be there to reconnect with friends and family.

Our second full week back was Vacation Bible School. The kids had a great time. I believe the program had a record turn out of kids. Much hard work was done by many volunteers and we give them thanks.

Our third Sunday we split up -- sending Abigail and Emma to DBC while Joy and I worshiped and spoke at Exeter Community Church. We had a good time there. Immediately following the service we met up with the girls and headed to Canada.
