I want to give you a quick progress report on our move back to France. We are grateful to God for the generous response of many of you to cover our moving expenses. To date, we have received $4450 toward the $9297 that it will cost to get ourselves and our things back home to Paris. We are half way there. If you'd still like to help us make it the rest of the way, then click here.
It is particularly precious to me, Jonathan, that several of my family members have helped with these expenses, my immediate family and my aunts, uncles, and cousins. Although they might joke that they can't wait to get me back out of the country, I know they will all regret seeing Karen, Michael, and Samuel leave. It is not easy for any family to send their loved ones off to another continent whatever the good reason might be. When I see the misunderstanding that many of my colleagues face within their families about our work, I am deeply grateful for my family's support and understanding. We also appreciate you who through Christian love consider us as part of your family and treat us as such. These are only some of our rich privileges as we continue in obediance to pursue God's mission by faith!
As Airline prices continue to skyrocket with the price of fuel, I’m happy to say that we did buy our tickets at a good time. We fly from LAX on July 4th arriving at CDG on July 5th. It's a evening flight so we may get to see some fireworks from the plane. Our Subaru and other household affairs will ship out of LA a few weeks earlier at the end of June. Everything is in order, but there is still much to do before we leave.
We would invite you to continue to pray for us during these hectic days of transition back to France.
With much love and gratitude,
Jonathan, Karen, Samuel, and Michael
