Greetings from
Fort Myers, FL! We wanted to update you on our family move to Fort Myers. I
left Tucson on May 21 and drove across the country for four days, arriving in
Fort Myers on Monday, May 24. My first two weeks here were spent at a
retreat preparing summer missionary interns and new NMSI missionaries for
deployment. We sent out teams to Bulgaria, Honduras, Kenya and Malawi for the
summer. New missionaries going long term to Malawi and Haiti also received
training.
Anne and Matthew
left Tucson on June 3 and arrived in Fort Myers late on June 5. Since they
arrived here we have been setting up our office at NMSI's headquarters
and looking for a place to live. Looking for a home seemed like a long
process. The first home we made an offer on fell through when the
owner decided they did not want to sell at all. Matthew has been volunteering
helping with landscaping and cleaning the NMSI grounds.
Finally,
yesterday (the same day the sale of our house in Tucson closed) our offer was
accepted on a house here (in Cape Coral). We are temporarily living with the
Barrerra's, a couple who also work with NMSI here. It will be another month
before we can move into our new home. Until then, our belongings are in
storage and we are living out of our suitcases. We are already missing
Tucson.
We are looking
forward to being able to minister more effectively from Fort Myers. We are
already getting a lot more face to face time with missionaries and
missionaries who are here preparing to go to the field.
We greatly
appreciate your prayers! Continue to pray we will adjust quickly to living in
Florida and ministering from a new place.
James and Michael
stayed in Tucson to go to school and work.
