Packing....again!

It seems to be the story of our lives. And to think, we have really just begun! In the four years of our marriage we have lived in nine different homes in four different states. Now we are adding more to our list! This coming Friday, (Oct. 5th) we are moving down to Tahlequah, Oklahoma for six weeks. This is where Tim will be practicing all the linguistic principles he has learned on the language of the Cherokee Indians. We are staying at a Cherokee Baptist conference grounds. We are told that our "home" for this time will be one large room with cinder block walls and concrete flooring.There will be one bathroom for all the men and one for all the women in our building. (About 10 families, more or less) All of our meals will communal and we are on teams to get a turn cooking. I am sure that this experience will be interesting to say the least. The place will be filthy when we get there, (such things as "toilet material" in the showers, etc.) and so we will have a lot of cleaning up to do before we can settle in. Our internet access will be very limited, (we will have to go to a local restaurant) but we will try to post pictures of the experience. Our mailing address will be the following:

We would also appreciate your prayers as we pack, travel, and settle in. Noah came down with flu like symptoms yesterday and we are really hoping that it avoids the rest of us!

Until next time!
Tiffany
