Hello Family... This is the latest newsletter we sent out to friends and supporters
We're back! We SURPRISED many with our early arrival for a family reunion. How wonderful it is to see family again and to hug and play with our granddaughter!
Now for another SURPRISE... After all the moving and fixing we did to transition to Mozambique and then much more in the country, we didn't realize how unsettling it would be to get back and not have a "home" to settle into. Not wanting to repeat that, along with house setup each time we return from Mozambique, we looked at over 30 homes in the Leavenworth, KS area where Daniel, Hannah, & Adonia live. God blessed us to find a house and to have the bid accepted! Originally listed at $59,900, we bid 50,000 and the next day the price dropped to 49,900. We left the bid as is to eliminate competition. The address is:
1003 N 8th St, Leavenworth, KS 66048:
See house pics if they're still showing from the agent:
We'll soon be looking on Craig's List for a myriad of things like furniture and appliances.
Pray that find good deals so as to minimize move-in expenses and that the upcoming inspection and appraisal will yield good results and allow us to move in.
While we'll be attending our home church, Hope Family Fellowship, we're excited that one of our main supporting churches is here near Leavenworth too - Wallula Christian Church. Wow! And we're very blessed for their VBS with matching funds to have raised $4700 to bring safe & clean water to Mozambicans.
If you would like to schedule a time for us to update you on the work in Mozambique, please request a date available in October on out. This is what we have so far:
October 10th - Milford
24th - Crocker
November 7th - Northland CC in KC, MO
January 9th - Forum
Thanksgiving!
