With the container loaded on Sat. June 4th we spent the night with the Scott's....went to Christ Church Sunday morning and then headed for Tupelo. Our GO duplexes were full with new missionaries so we spent the entire week at the home of David and Shay Hall while we were teaching at MOT. (Missionary Orientation Training) We saved on gas too as their home is only about 3 miles from the GO office. (Wonderful hospitality) Each year...the first full week of Feb, June and Oct...we, along with our GO Home Office staff, train new missionaries going to the field. David and I do a lot of practical teaching as to what to expect when they arrive at their new location. This was a great group. We had five couples and one single going to 3 countries. We stand in awe of how God continues to call out people in the country's economic downturn. Our God is not broke...AMEN! During the week David was also in many Leadership Team meetings. They were taking advantage of having David face to face and not on conference calling. We returned to KY late Friday night (10th) and spent Saturday trying to pack our suitcases for the trip back.
Many of you know I (Judy) broke a bone in the side of my hand. I went back to the doctor on Monday in hopes he would tell me I could do away with the cast but that didn't happen. He x- rayed it and said it was healing but I had to wear it another 3 full weeks. (do you know how hard it is to function without your right hand?) The Lord continues to teach me patience.
We finished our packing and flew out of Nashville on Wednesday morning. It was great to return but the weather here is about the same as in the US....HOT!!!
We have a team from CO here right now and many more teams on their way this summer. Pray for strength for our entire staff.
