Michigan Bound

Saturday morning as we were trying to decide what to do with our "free day" we decided to head to Charlotte for cheesecake and then to my parent's house.  (we were going there Sunday morning for them to take to the airport anyhow).  We realized that because of my working in a church we had never gone to church with them.  The kids have gone several times, but not us adults.  It took longer than we expected to put our temporary house in order, but after a late start we had an uneventful journey - a stop at Outback for dinner, a stop of Cheesecake Factory for cheesecake to go, and finally arriving at my parents for catching up.

This morning we are going to church with my parents (and learned last night that we will be introduced and have a second or two to say something) and then we head to the airport.

This is our final required "training" before we can leave.  It isn't really training as much as it is a time for catching a vision for all that SEND is doing throughout the world and spiritual renewal.  A time to be reminded of WHO we are serving and that it really isn't about anything we do.  We will also reconnect with some friends who are serving in a variety of places throughout the world.  Hannah and Alex can't wait to get to spend time with their friends from last summer as well as some Spain friends. 

The best part of the whole week - no moving boxes!
