First Baptist Church of Harlingen

On Sunday, Erik had the opportunity to speak at the church he grew up in, First Baptist Church of Harlingen.  That afternoon we were able to reconnect with old friends and meet many new people from the church at a reception.  We enjoyed getting to visit with so many people and left feeling very encouraged. 

The Goodbye Tour

We are enjoying time with friends and family during these last two weeks before we leave for Kenya.  We are looking forward to a big family Thanksgiving and catching up with Texas friends!  Here are some pictures from our tour so far:

Homeless

We moved out of our apartment in Nashville on Saturday and are now homeless and living out of our cars!  We're so thankful for good friends and family who are housing us for the next few weeks as we are on our "Goodbye Tour." 

Our first stop was in Birmingham for our church commissioning.  Our church family truly surrounded us and loved us well as they prayed for us and sent us off.  We felt so loved and encouraged and it was great for the kids to see just how many people were supporting us and praying for us!  Our small group hosted a lovely lunch for us and it was fun to catch up and spend time together. 

A good blogger would have lots of pictures to document these events, but I've never claimed to be a good blogger.  :)
