Well we arrived much too close for my comfort. It was almost like Christmas Eve at Calvary in Oroville--10 minutes before service. We got lost but we arrived 10 minutes before service. The pastor was kind as I was anxious about arriving so close to the service time.
What a joy to worship in the Divine Service with God's people at Beautiful Savior in Milton. We were humbled by the reception of God's people, Pastor and Vicar. It was humbling to preach the Word of God and to receive God's gifts in the Divine Service. During the Bible Study hour we were able to present where God has called us to serve in Kenya for the years ahead. We are thankful for God's travel mercies from Portland and back. I have not kept track of all the miles we have gone in the last month but I know it has been close to 3,000 miles. Thank you Lord for the provision of safety.
This last week I will finish my last class for my PhD and we will pack and prepare for departing on the 14th. Time has moved so fast. Please pray for our sanity the next week. But in all things we are thankful for God's hand of provision and care for us during these last few weeks.
You know the prayers of a lot of people are going with you! I still sort of expect to see Noah in his acolyte robe on Sundays...Miss you all a lot.
