Happy to Be Here

We are now located at Happy Acres Missionary Transit Center in Woodstock, GA. This is a marvelous facility dedicated to short-term housing for missionaries on furlough or deputation. They have a two-story building with various accommodations. We are occupying three rooms. The room Teresa and I share has a kitchenette which is very convenient.

The kids have a place to do their school work in their bedroom, a library and a sitting room, and I can get some office work done while they do so. We also have had opportunity to have some family fun time. It is amazing that though we are together most of the time that does not mean that family time is a regular item on the calendar. Most family time is spent in the car as we travel from one church to another. We are also enjoying some time to read and catch up on correspondence. The holidays put us a little behind in that department.

Praise the Lord for this merciful provision and the meetings we will participate in while here. That got off to a rocky start as two meetings had to be rescheduled due to conflicts. But the Lord was again gracious as both meetings were repositioned. The “down-time” has allowed us to visit a couple of churches we may not have visited otherwise. These have been refreshing to us as well.
