Back to Life, Back to Reality
Back by popular demand (Chris), my blog!
Wow, being back in the US has been crazy. We stayed in Cali for a few days with Joy's family and had a great time. Great conversations, great campfire on the beach, great salmon birthday lunch, and a great grandma... wait that doesn't really work. But, she is great and Joy's grandma turned 90 while we were there. GREAT TIMING! Joy and I are very thankful to Chris and Ali and Joy's parents for driving us around Cali at $3.45 a gallon, housing us and feeding us!
When we got home we let Daisy in the house and a few minutes later we found her chewing on something green. We discovered our renter put down mouse poison!! So after being home for barely 10 minutes we left for the pet ER. And then 1 hour and $230 later we came home for the rest of the night. And in spite of needing to adjust to our new time zone we had to get up at 2 AM and give Daisy this charcoal stuff to coat her stomach. Thankfully I have a wonderful wife who did it for us so I could rest before work the next day. Unfortunately, I did wake up at 2 AM and could not sleep the rest of the night. Grrr!!
These past 5 days have been insane. There happens to be a lot of catching up you have to do when you leave for 80 days - just so you know. Fortunately we have great friends who are helping us get reacclimated. This weekend I am teaching on the Da Vinci Code for my sunday morning high school class, giving the sermon at our church about New Zealand and missions and then giving the message at our annual Senior Banquet - all this Sunday. Lord... HELP!
I'll try to keep blogging as we work towards becoming full time Steiger missionaries. I know that once we are out in the mission field we will be blogging a ton to keep everyone posted with our lives. PEACE OUT! (Wait, isn't Minnesota a mission field?)
