| We're loving the colours of a NC autumn. |
For the second morning straight, we awoke early and had breakfast before 4:30. By 6 this morning, we had the internet system purchased last night working in the mission house of Temple Baptist in Raleigh, NC., so I can send a very, very short update today!
 |
| Welcome home... |
We arrived on time and with all our luggage on Monday afternoon - a true praise! Thanks for praying. We've also survived our first visit to a grocery store and a Walmart, and yes, both were more than a bit overwhelming. It did help to be told that the Walmart was an extra big one, so we were not simply responding as culture-shocked missionaries!

| ... BABU and BIBI (Swahili/granddaddy and grandmama). |
We've yet to arrange for transport or to locate my 'stored' coats and purchase Jack a warmer jacket - it is COLD here - so keep praying as we adjust to six months of life and work in the US during our Stateside Assignment (STAS). Pray especially that we will be good ambassadors for the IMB and especially for our Father's work among Sub-Saharan African Peoples as we 'work' at the North Carolina Baptist Convention next week.

I'm enjoying watching the birds, especially as the
cardinals and blue jays, play outside our window! |
And yes, do pray that we will adjust to living one-third of the way around the world. We wish there was a re-set button for our internal clocks which are a bit confused. With the 8 hours time difference, our bodies are finding it confusing to be going to bed for the evening when we usually are arising for the day! BERT

During our STAS, I will continue adding daily
