He's Home

We were in for the shock of our life when our Pastor's son called Kevin asking him to be the guest speaker for the Pasotr's Anniversary service. I quickly told him, "Say, yes!". He thought and prayed about it though overnight and gave the final answer soon after. There was nothing here pressing to where he couldn't make the trip and besides... I certainly needed things from America! :) LOL

All kidding aside, Kevin was honored to be the secret, special guest for our Pastor. The service was a success and I'm sure Kevin preached a wonderful message. (not that I'm biased or anything) Gotta stand behind my man! :) My mom was glad for him to be there and help ge the last of our stuff packed and airmailed to Croatia. I sent him and my mom to fulfill my list of wants and needs and... now he's HOME. Even though his visit was short and sweet, it was still enough time to love on some nieces and nephews for us. That's the only sad thing about us all not going.... missing out on seeing a new niece for the first time.

I know the a furlough will be not so long down the road. We have already been here 11 months! WOW!! Can't wait to celebrate our 1st full year here. We are currently planning ou Pastor and Gail's trip over to see us at the end of September.

Summer sure is flying by on our side of the world! On a side note~ we had a full church house last night!! We didn't even have to have food or anything special... they just showed up! (and I didn't have my camera do document it ) (: That's just a "God thing". What a way to encourage us to keep on serving Him even when it seems like we are not making a difference! Praise the Lord!!
