Home Sweet Home

We arrived in San Francisco on Saturday November 20th after 32 hours of traveling! Tired, but so looking forward to seeing our family and our extended church family.Our first stop after leaving the airport in S.F. was at a In & Out Burger, oh what a treat!!!! Then on to Salinas, Ca. to the condo which has been so graciously provided to us by Bob & Sharon Treat. A warm shower and then to bed, oh so tired!

The following day we had the privilege of sharing at Calvary Chapel Salinas with Pastor Don Scott as our host. What a warm & encouraging greeting we received by all in attendance. Thank you CC Salinas, one & all, we so very much appreciate you!

Yesterday, we ran errands and today more errands to take care of before Thursday arrives for Thanksgiving with our son Tom & his family. It is also our grandson's Birthday,Ty,who will be 30 on the 25th and another of our grandson's, Jaeden, who turns 18 on the 26th.We have missed our family so much and we are so glad we get to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas at home!

We have a very full schedule while we are here on furlough as we have the blessed opportunity to share each week-end at different churches about what God is accomplishing in Malawi. We are truly humbled by the number of churches who are allowing us to share with the fellowship's. We are also taking time with each of our children(4) & their families that include 13 grandchildren & 4 great grandchildren. We are truly blessed beyond measure!!

We will also be attending the Calvary Chapel Missions Conference in Murrieta Ca. the first week of January. This conference has missionaries from all over the world congregating together once a year & it is always a blessing to a part of with all the different saints serving in foreign lands!

Then we will be heading back to Malawi on January 17th to resume what God has called us to be doing for His kingdom. We want to wish all of you a most wonderful Thanksgiving and a blessed Christmas. As well, to thank each of you for your love, prayers, & support. We could not do what God has called us to do without each of you! You are a part of all that is accomplished by the Lord in Malawi as we are all a team, being obedient to His calling.

As our brethren say in Malawi, Zikomo Kwambiri! We love & appreciate you all. May the Lord bless & keep you close to Himself!

Agape,

Steve & Nora
