among the things I've forgotten to tell you

We are coming home!!  In exactly 2 days we will be stepping out of Sea-Tac airport, into the car of Kelly's brother, and freezing our tails off.  We cannot wait!  We've spent most of today packing and wrapping up last minute loose ends - why is it so hard to get ready to relax?!  We will be in Seattle until Jan 21 when we will head over to Chicago to visit Katie and my folks.  We are so excited to get a dose of American culture, of friends and family, flavorful foods, Husky basketball, movie theaters, and so much more.  We are also really looking forward to sharing with many of you face to face about what God has been doing in and through the mission and our lives over the past year, so stay tuned for information on an open house.

We have been trying to sympathize with all you in the snow and prepare ourselves for weather that is 60 degrees colder than we are used to....

Then we realized what an impossible thing that is here in the sunny Caribbean.

 

Please pray for safe travel from here to Santo Domingo, and then through the rest of our trip - as well as a sense of peace that everything that could be prepped for our leaving is prepped.  Leaving is sometimes a bit stressful, and I am anticipating a bit of stress from culture shock coming back.  Thanks!!

Homeward bound (if only for a month)
