So much to be Thankful for!

Well we’re back in the States as many of you already know… and we are really enjoying all of the new experiences! All 6 of our flights went smoothly with 22 hours in the air and kids did great! We feel pretty adjusted to the time change now and are all sleeping well and feeling great! I came down with the Shingles right before our trip back but have fully recovered and we’re all healthy and enjoying Fall here in Ohio! When asked what they love most about America, Kadynn responded “seeing my grandmas & grandpas”, Judah responded “all the restaurants”, and Eden responded “playing with new toys”. And when asked what they miss about Tobo, Kadynn said “all the butterflies & animals”, Judah answered “my friends” and Eden answered “my friends”. The kids are really doing great and enjoying all of the “new” that comes with a move across the world.

We came back to a warm welcome from our church, who filled our pantry, made up our beds & put everything we need in our house. We feel so blessed to have such a wonderful house to come back to! I am loving my dishwasher, my washer and dryer which allow me to do laundry at any time of the day rain or shine J, and the convenience of food- frozen food, microwave, fast food, food delivery- it makes my life very easy! And while we’re enjoying getting settled in and pampered by all the conveniences we’re also anxious to get started with school again and begin a schedule which we feel will allow a little normality back into our lives.

Thanks for all you’ve done for us to make our return to the States possible. The Lord has used many of you to provide us with tickets, a house, food, a vehicle, clothing, school supplies and the list goes on! Thank you

We’re looking forward to our first speaking opportunity this Sunday in Eaton Rapids, MI and then celebrating our first Thanksgiving with our families in 4 years. Kadynn will also turn 8 on the 27th so I’m trying to plan a pretty special party for her this year. This will be a Thanksgiving to remember, we have SO much to be thankful for!
Your hands & feet,
Jason & Nisae, Kadynn, Judah & Eden

On our way

We begin our trip back home tomorrow! Please pray for safe travels and lenient customs officers J and for our 3 kids who are used to 1 hour flights in small airplanes! We are all healthy and ready to tackle those long flights after spending a few relaxing days in Australia first J. We will arrive home next week. We have said goodbye to our Tobo friends and anticipate hearing great things about their growth while we are gone. We will try to keep you updated on what is happening in Tobo via our co-workers who will remain there in the tribe.

Thanks for praying for our family! The Lord has provided all we need to get home, live comfortably & travel around. We feel very blessed and are thankful to serve a God who holds the future in His hands and whose finger prints are on the events of our past. Thanks for being there with us and upholding us in prayer. See many of you soon!

Your hands & feet soon to travel the globe,
Jason, Nisae, Kadynn, Judah & Eden
