On the Road Again...

Yeah! We are home.....at least for awhile. We arrived back in Missouri Saturday evening just in time to unload a few things and have dinner. Some friends prepared dinner for us and bought a few groceries for our breakfast the next morning. Other friends had a yummy smelling candle burning in our apartment to welcome us home and some yummy cookies. How encouraging to be surrounded by such good friends! We had plenty of help unloading our trailor and then the work began of trying to settle in again and make another place feel like home. It is a little bit of a challenge as we are unpacking, yet packing at the same time. In four weeks, Tim will be done with classes and we will be moving home to California. Always on the move! Micah had his four month check-up today and he is growing so fast! He has not been sleeping that well the last several weeks with all the moving and the doctor laughed and said, "No wonder!" Already in four months of life Micah has lived in four houses, three states, taken four plane rides, and traveled who knows how many miles! That is a lot for a little guy to take in!

Well, we hope to post some more pictures here soon of our time in Oklahoma now that we have good internet access again. It was such a learning experience in SO many ways. Please be praying for Tim's Cherokee language helper Ord Dreadfulwater and his wife Jennette and their salvation. Hopefully Tim will get a chance to tell you more about Ord and his time with him, but we just wish that we would have been able to have more time with him. Ord still holds very tightly to his believe in the spirits and is very antagonistic towards "white man" and his religion. He is a friendly guy and seemed to really enjoy working with Tim and Philip, yet they could never be sure when he was deceiving them as he has been known to do to students in the past. What good practice for the field because this is exactly what the tribal people do as well!

Until next time!
