After we moved out of our Blacksburg apartment, we drove the 700+ miles to Orlando for a soul-nourishing conference with other missionaries at Pioneers Headquarters. What a feeling of being understood there was as we missionaries related stories of how God is working on the mission field and in our own lives. Then we drove back.
We sold the Mercury Sable that has served us well for six months. And this time, my passport returned to me on time with the proper renewal and visa all in place.
This week has held final good-byes to our sending church, Blacksburg Christian Fellowship, and our home group. Tears were shed! That group has been so loving.
Tomorrow, a man from our home group will drive us to Roanoke so we can pick up a rental car. Our widow friend in Northern Virginia will keep us overnight tomorrow, and Friday we head to San Francisco and a family reunion at Asilomar. We've been looking forward to the reunion for a long time! Fourteen Rosies will have fun together before our departure for PNG!
Even as we must say good-byes, God has been reminding me of His faithfulness:
Incline your ear and come to Me. Listen that you may live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, according to the faithful mercies shown to David. Isaiah 55:3

Hi! I have been praying that all went well at the airport and flight (and that you got some breakfast too)! I just spoke with (and saw) Kelly and Diane via Skype. They have arrived safely in KS. They found the use of my TOM TOM helpful to navigate to their destinations along the way. They spent 8 hours yesterday at the Creation Science Museum and had an enjoyable time. I'm still mortified when I think of the mouse--my surprise of the day. Do you have an email address or is this the best way to communicate in the future? I don't have your Skypes contact info either. What is the time difference?
Love & blessings,
Marilyn
