Morley Update 2011#2

Everyone,
It is harder to do updates when we are in the states as I never know where we will be and what our internet service will be like. At the moment we are comfortably tucked in at our friends Don and Margaret Kennedy's home in WA. We are here for the rest of the week. We spoke at Central Christian in Snohomish on Sunday. It was a real joy to reconnect with this congregation who has faithfully supported us from the beginning. It truly felt like coming home as we were greeting with hugs and welcomed back. We met with a small group here last night and will be with two small groups tonight. Tomorrow night we will travel 2 1/2 hours away to speak with a group in Cle Elam that Don works with. Thursday after breakfast out with friends (one of the things Kent and I miss about America) I think we will spent some time with our photographer friend Greg Silsby and do some shooting.

We have had a little change up in our schedule. We will not be at Willamette Christian in West Linn on the 6th but will instead be there on the 13th. The change is because their tech team is going to do a short video clip of us talking about refugees during their Sunday services. We are going to film this at the beginning of the week. We will also stay a few days more in Portland because a wonderful dentist who is on the mission team at Willamette is taking care of our dental work at a GREATLY reduced cost - what a gift!

So the plan for our schedule is to be back in Elmira on the evening of the 9th and to stay there through Saturday the 12th. We will go back to Portland the night of the 12th and be gone a few days again most likely returning on the 16th. Then we will be in the area until the end of February. Speaking at Bethany Church in Franklin on Sunday the 20th and Willamina the morning of the 27th. We will finish by speaking at Turner on the night of the 27th and leave for CA the next day.

THE BIG NEWS IS WE GOT OUR FBI CHECKS BACK!!! This means we should be able to pick up our visas with no trouble and return to be with Kent's Dad for a few days of rest after our whirlwind schedule in OR. We will fly to Chicago on March 7th (arriving on the morning of the 8th) and spend three days at head quarters in Elgin. Then on the 11th we fly back to MA to spend a few more day with our Grandkids and return to Greece as scheduled on March 18th. I inadvertently caused a bit of confusion by posting on face book that we were on schedule to arrive back to Greece on the 18th without designating clearly that it was MARCH 18th so the rumor may be circulating the we are coming home early which is not the case.

We are loving our time here reconnecting with family and friends but our hearts always turn back to our home in Greece and the people there who have grown so dear to us. Thanks you for your prayers for our travels, and visas and all that you do to encourage and uphold us. We love you.
