Hello my loved ones!🦋
So yes, it has been awhile. We are all busy in Jehovah’s work. But I think of you often and it warms my heart.
We just got home from a trip back to South Carolina to see family and friends. Kyle had come home first of December from doing LDC work in the Caribbean and after a trip to New York, would be deciding his next move in life. He spent over a year in Turks and Cacaos, gaining valuable training. An experience he will never forget. So we spent 2 1/2 weeks with him and enjoying just hanging out and visiting with old friends.🥰 (of course we did a lot of card playing.)
We also ate very well…
and of course there was lots of loving…
And some serious talks…
So Kyle bought our old Honda from Aunt Susan!
So by the end of the second week there, I started to feel an uneasiness, even a sort of home-sickness for Charleston, I think Bryan was feeling it too. It was feeling so good being with our families. Kyle had not heard anything from Bethel and had no official invite to Disaster relief. What direction was his life going to take? What job could he find to support full time service? Where will he live? We would soon be going over 2,000 miles away. The night before we left, I could not sleep. That’s not so unusual, but I was feeling like my heart was in 2 places.💔So of course I had to let Jehovah know about the major stress I was feeling. I love being with our Prosser Washington family and I dearly missed them. But I dearly love our families all living on the same street in Carolina. And our dear boy was here…making major decisions. I begged Jehovah to remember Kyle and find a place that he would be comfortable and at home and working in full-time service.
So I just want to share with you how kind and merciful our God Jehovah is. The morning we were about to leave for the airport, we were sitting on Bryan’s parents couch talking and looking at pictures when Kyle gets a phone call from Bethel. Yes a half hour before we were leaving Jehovah showed us He knows our hearts and our worries…Kyle was invited to Patterson to work in the AV department for next 11 weeks. It was more than his father and I could take…we broke down in tears (along with those in the room.) It was just what needed to know, Jehovah settled our hearts. We are so grateful. The trip home was long and tiring but we were so comforted knowing Jehovah has kept track of us. It is so humbling that so great a God remembers us small sinful humans…and listens to our prayers.
I love you🦋
