We’ve been back in southern Cal from Germany for about a month now.  Our transition has been mostly smooth though not without stress and challenges.  We haven’t had a lot of culture shock but there has been a bit (Costco is amazing!).  So far we’ve enjoyed awesome weather (it’s great never having to factor the weather in any plans!!), a chance to vote in the elections, attend some great churches, do photography, attend a couple USC football games, visit Disneyland, B-House started his job, and enjoy a faster yet more convenient life.  We’re still not sure what the future holds for us regarding missions but we’re definitely open and seeking the Lord’s leading.  Either way, I hope we can enjoy being where the Lord has us and we feel mighty spoiled to be here now.  Please pray that we can discern the Lord’s leading regarding a possible return to the mission field, ministry here, and/or doing ministry on the side of “regular” work.  Thanks!!
