By now many of you are just learning of our future plans...if you are on our mailing list. We have finished our 4 year term here in Thailand and needed to make a decision regarding whether or not we would return for another 4 year term after our year in the States. We have decided as a family that the best thing for us as a family is to return to the States indefinately. We have loved our 6 years here in Thailand as 2 year missionaries and also as career missionaries for this 4 year term. We have had many amazing experiences, good times and bad times. We love our team, and we love Thailand. We just feel that we are being lead to move on to the States and to another form of work for Jack. My job stays the same. :)

We have exactly 6 days left here. We leave on July 29th at 1:30 A.M. We will settle in Peachtree City, Georgia with Jack's parents for about 6 months while Jack figures out the next steps. We are essentially starting over. We have no job leads, no housing of our own and basically nothing but our families to go home to! But this is another opportunity to see God lead and provide for us. If we've learned anything as missionaries, we've learned that God takes care of us always and in every situation. This one will be no different. We are scared and excited. It is hard to say goodbye here. We are leaving many people that we love. We are leaving a culture that we have assilmilated. We will bring some of those changes home with us.

Even though our lives will go from the ' big mango' to the 'big peach', I will continue to update this blog for a few more weeks. After that if you want to stay updated please see my other blog www.mommyscircus.blogspot.com .
