School started today!

Well, the public schools started here and Missie's new school! She is sad that she is not there. But knowing she will be there, helps a lot! I hope these last 2 weeks go quickly; I am sooo ready to get this move on the road. We have a lot of packing done. We haven't started packing any of Preston's stuff yet; next week we can do that. We have all the cleaning out done except for his stuffed animals. We hope to do that this week. He goes to the dentist on Wed, for a checkup. Hope all is well. Or else they will have to squeeze us in a week and a half to have his teeth fixed.

Missie packed some small glass things this a.m. and we used clothes to wrap them in. I took all the stuff out of my closet that I won't be wearing in the next 2 weeks and have them all packed, too. Preston's winter clothes are packed (he hasn't missed them out of his closet.) We are doing well to have 2 more weeks left.

Preston is sad about leaving his church and friends. I reminded him that Free Wesleyan used to be our church, and that we had had to leave there, and that he did fine. He said he knew; it is just the thought of leaving his comfort zone and making new friends. He sits at back of church and greets almost everyone that comes in and enjoys it so much. Maybe he can do that in Frankfort, as well. But he keeps repeating that Martha Castle told him that it would be easy for him to make new friends up there. If it wasn't Martha, it was someone who told him that, and that is reassuring to him. He will do fine. Change is just hard for him; really for me and Junior too. Missie is young and adventurous, and it doesn't bother her as much.

So 2 weeks from today, we are leaving SC, probably forever. It has been our home for a total of 12 years. We know a lot of people here. But for Missie's sake, it is time to move on. We have been told that we will not be sorry for doing this, to have Missie in a holiness school. I want her to continue to be a fervant holiness girl. God has helped her sooo much in the last few months; He has changed her and her desire is to be in a holiness school and not long after we arrive, Union Bible College will be in revival and we plan to go over there some. She knows some young people over there. So we are trusting God to work out all the financial needs and details, as He knows why we are doing this! I tend to worry; but we have to do the best we can, and trust the Lord for the rest.

Keep us in prayer!
