May 5th, 2009 -- We're MOVING! -- This week! So please pray for us, both now and over the next months as we adapt to a new place.

We had a nice time at our area retreat in Spain, and a wonderful time in Portugal, visiting the churches we served there -- celebrating 25 years since our team planted the church there. It was God's gift to see our Portuguese skills reemerge. We then had 2 nights in London and one in Kyiv to make our travel connections.

The morning we returned, however, we started taking our house apart, so we're already in turmoil. Our new home is only 5 blocks away, but it will be cheaper and nicer. In the meantime, we're BUSY BUSY BUSY! Short term teams visiting, committee meetings, team meetings, Board meetings, and ... I have to run catch the train to Kyiv for another seminary session! More later.
