We had security training Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday. Hopefully, those three days will prove to have been a waste of time & we'll never have to use any of the information we learned and skills we gained. But, we're pretty thankful that MAF does a thorough job of helping to prepare us for some of the possible worst case scenarios that are always a risk when traveling and living overseas. The training was very effective, we're just praying that nobody who took it this week will ever have to put into into practice.
Hard to believe that we have just over 24 hours left in the U.S. We've been trying to do some fun things the last couple days amongst the hectic packing and preparing to leave. We went to Chili's and the pool last night. The boys and I went bowling with some friends this morning.
Even though we feel incredibly scared and overwhelmed right now, there's also a real sense of peace in our hearts. The prayers and support from people in Lancaster, Nampa, Shell, and elsewhere have encouraged us more than we can express. During these 3 weeks in Nampa, we've made lots of new friends and have been encouraged by their stories, friendship, and encouragement. Meanwhile we've had family and friends doing so much to help us out in Lancaster. And friends who we haven't even met yet have been helping to prepare our home for our arrival in Shell. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!!!
Next post will be from Shell!
