Well, it has taken awhile, but I finally feel like I’ve beaten the jet lag and am now getting some full nights of sleep! Our first few weeks back have been busy! We arrived last Sunday and were met by a whole posse of people: my grandmother, uncle, dad, mom, in-laws, brother and sister in law, and two of our nieces were there! It was nice to even have a quick family reunion.
That afternoon we headed for Amherst and Mom gave a presentation for her missions trip (she’ll be joining us on the field in August – Lord willing). The church was able to raise a large offering of support and they will be taking care of most of her expenses! God is so good!
The next day I had an interview with our district board. I was tired and very jet lagged (I laughed WAY too much) but it seemed to go well, I love the brethren of the Atlantic District and I trust our board to make Godly decisions. In retrospect, even though it went well, I don’t think I’d ever plan an interview the day after a long international flight again!
Our district conference was from Monday to Wednesday but I missed most of it! The two night sessions I missed because I fell asleep before church even started (thanks to the jet lag). Then I missed Wednesday morning because our car wouldn’t start, thankfully a couple men from the area helped fix the problem and we are now on the road again!
We spent most of the weekend in Maine buying some items we needed for our return trip to the field. With our baby on the way we felt it best to go to the US while Amanda could still travel.
This week was very relaxed and it gave us time to catch up on some sleep! Wednesday we did a course in preparation for Zander’s arrival and we will do the same next week. But in between we have youth convention starting tonight!
We are excited to see everyone and have some fun with all the youth! It will be an exciting time. We already have plans to be with many of our friends over the weekend, I can’t wait to see everyone.
