Well I know I should blog because the longer that I don't the harder it gets, but I honestly don't know what to say. We have been in the States for over a week now and have gotten lots accomplished including buying a van, getting cell phones, and house hunting. I am in love with my van, seriously after driving a 12 passenger diesel van this thing glides across the road with ease and makes getting the kids in and out supper easy. We think we will be ready tomorrow to make an offer on a house and then hopefully it will be a quick closing so that we can get moved in soon.
I have to confess I am anxious to get this transitional period over with and just get settled, but I don't want to miss out on processing all that the Lord did in and through me in our time in Honduras. I can already see how easy it is to get caught up in the busyness of the American life, and just get caught up in my own little world.
The girls are doing well although they seem very emotional, understandably so. Lucy is very lonely and has broken down several times because she misses her friends in Honduras. Ellie of course can't process what she is feeling but is very clingy to me right now. And well, Anna is just a long for the ride :)
We have had some great time with Sean's parents and I have to say I am loving the benefits of grandparents near by. We are looking forward to time with my parents and finally being able to meet my new niece next week.
I think for the most part we are in survival mode right now, just making it through each day and all the important decisions that each day holds, but I think that is okay for now. Lord willing after we make an offer on a house and it is accepted we can rest for a little bit and enjoy some family time.
We had a wonderful day worshipping with our church and really look forward to ministering there soon. It was great to reconnect with so many people and also meet so many new faces. When we asked Lucy about the church she said she really liked it because they had a play ground and food (it was a covered dish Sunday). I think she went through a little culture shock though during communion since we have not been able to take communion almost our entire time on the field.
I think that is enough rambling for one post. I will post some fun pictures soon I promise!
