This photo was taken last time we were in the USA:
That was way back in 2011. Clearly it's time to start planning another Home Assignment, so we're working on booking a trip to our home countries next year. In March 2017 we'll travel to Brisbane, Australia, where Eowyn has a check-up with the kidney specialist. From there we'll fly to England, where we'll be based in Haslemere, Surrey, from April - July. From August - December we'll live in North Carolina (where our organisation has housing), making sure we fit in trips to Tennessee and Florida.
We're looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible during our time away from PNG. We'll also have the chance to take some training courses, have health check-ups, and make the most of opportunities for spiritual and emotional refreshment. The children will get to attend school/preschool in their passport countries for the first time. (The little baby in the photo above will be in year 1/1st grade in 2017!)
Levi says he's most excited to see grandparents, while Heidi's aim is to ride a toy chicken on a merry-go-round!
If you would like to see us, please let us know!
We would appreciate your prayers as we start to plan and book our travel for next year. There are so many things to think about including tickets, visas, clothing, speaking engagements, road trips, health insurance and preparing our house here.
On a different note, thank you for praying for the staffing situation at Autoshop. We are very relieved that Andrew now has a temporary manager, and that the permanent manager is on schedule to return after Christmas.
