Morley Update 2013 #28

Everyone,



Well in a couple of days we will be winging our way back across the ocean to our home in Greece. When we left it seemed that the 6 months stretched endlessly before us and now we look back wondering where it went. We had many special times with our family and friends, most notably spending a week in Mexico with our family for our daughter Becky's wedding. We celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. We went from spring flowers, to wild flowers and on to fall leaves. We ate corn on the cob, berry cobbler made from wild blackberries we picked ourselves and more fast food than we should have. We shopped 'til we dropped, went to movies and even went to Disneyland (on FREE tickets). We hiked, and swam and played golf. We spent time with our grandkids and kids - we played Pinochle, Pictionary, Sorry and Liar's Dice. We went to garage sales, antique stores and flea markets. We stopped at farm stands at first buying things like strawberries and this week buying pumpkins. We had long walks and longs talks. We drove from CA to OR to WA to WY back to OR and CA again. We spoke to 14 different groups and did a week long VBS doing the mission thought for the kids and teaching the adult class. We attended Winema Week of Missions where we had a display and shared about our work. I saw 7 different doctors, gave countless samples of blood and had multitudes of tests. I'm not sure we came to any good conclusions but we didn't come to any bad ones either.



Now we look forward to returning to our home in Greece and the work God has called us to. It will be hard to leave our family, it will be hard to leave the beautiful countryside and with all the green trees and fields to return to life in the city. It will be hard to return to struggling with language. But it will be good. It will be good to see our team mates and refugee friends. It will be good to settle into our home again and be in the same bed every night. It will be good to go to the ARC and be with the kids, hugging the ones I know and meeting the ones who have come in the time I have been away. It will be good to see the smiles and get the kisses that will come when I greet the women I have not seen in so long. It will be good to cook for our community group guys again and to meet new guys that Kent is sure to bring home for dinner. Thank you all for walking with us on this journey - my leg is healing though it is still somewhat sore and tends to swell up a bit when I'm on it too long. I went to the doctor this week again just to be sure there were no blood clots but they said I just have two large hematomas that will just take time to heal. Thank you for all your prayers and your continual support. Our next update will be from Greece!
