Our road trip has finally ended. But before it did, we enjoyed a couple more camp outs followed by a couple of weeks in Springfield, Missouri. In Springfield we attended, a re-entry seminar and missionary renewal. We got to visit with old friends and make new ones. The kids had a great time in the MK program and are still singing the songs that they learned. The most exciting thing that happened was that we got our final approval to transfer fields to Japan!

As an added bonus, we had a mini APTS reunion in Springfield. We were glad to meet up with fellow missionaries who served along side us in the Philippines for a pick-nick at a local park.

Now we are delighted to have a home again. We arrived in St. Petersburg, Florida and moved into the D&D missionary homes 2 weeks ago. We have a 3 bedroom, fully furnished house. Hudson finally has his own real bed! The house is nicer than we expected and we feel very blessed to be here. While it was fun visiting friends and family, national parks and campgrounds, we are glad to unpack and have a home again for awhile.
