Migrating

LM will write a deeply reflective and heartwarming post about our last blessing and send-off from the network later. Here's an update from the more day-to-day front...

Migrants
We moved out of the residence hall into our blue Dodge van ('77) on Thursday night. Thankfully, our friends love us and we had a blast staying with Miller, Deanna, Caleb, Micah, and Sarah for 4 nights. Now we're with K. & K. for a bit and like Miller and Deanna, their home and their presence is a great blessing for us.

Miller and Deanna have various framed quotes on the walls in their house, and this one (no idea where it comes from) happens to go well with what I'm currently reading and with my understanding of Life with God over the last little while:

"Command them not to fell timber and hew it into ships... spin for them yarns of the sea!"

Imagine how Life would be if we weren't so prone to losing the plot... kind of gets me a little excited thinking about it, actually =)

Good-bye Ducky
Nelson is now the proud owner of the yellow '77 Nova. We dropped it off yesterday (and amongst SM's sisters there was much rejoicing). It is a huge blessing to have more time to spend with people, and I realized at Nelson's that we've got a good opportunity to make up for some of the friendship time we lost to papers and exams over the last few years. We have plenty to do but no actual schedule, so we can spend the afternoon in Nelson's front yard or stay up talking with whoever happens to be around.

In Limbo
Now we spend most of the day following up contacts and trying to make more. Not very exciting, but I've got three full days of work coming up moving furniture into the almost-finished new residence hall. Sitting at a computer in an over-air conditoned room is gonna sound pretty good after three days of that, but it sure is nice to dig up some more gas money.
