Sigh...and the search continues

When we arrived home we hit the ground running. In the wake of cultural readjustment, job, house and car hunting, and more, we're in need of a little R & R. A dear friend/mentor has offered us this coming week (July 11-18) at his family's lake place, and we find ourselves exhausted and ready to accept.

We have not yet begun to call our supporting churches to say a formal Thank You. We will be in touch soon. Thank you for your patience as we try to get reestablished as well as close out our time in Peru. We are thankful to God for a healthy pregnancy! See our last entry for details. Now please pray for us as we restart our life here in the US.

Blessings,

Healthy Babies!


We are sorry to be so slow in updating the blog! Thank you all for praying! The doctors gave us a GLOWING report on Tuesday. Both BOYS are growing as they should be! :) That's right, we have two healthy fraternal twin boys growing inside Gillian. Everyone has enough amniotic fluid and everything else checked out great. Alex and Nathan are thrilled to be awaiting two brothers. They have no idea how their life is about to change even more than it already has.

Justin's job hunt is going well, with interviews starting next week. Please pray for the right job to open up, and for God's leading in the search. After he gets a job we should be able to start looking for a home.

Our transition back is a little weird, but it's going well. We have stumbled over culture shock in the grocery store and driving. We made a one-night trip up to West Virginia to visit Justin's grandparents. It was a good visit, though short. So tomorrow we're worshipping with our home church again, and starting Monday we're making our calls to our supporting churches to start saying a big THANK YOU to you!

Please feel free to write with any questions you may have.

Blessings,
