As information didn\u2019t flow our way we started preparing to live stateside more permanently. However, in October Benjamin was in Orlando for a gathering of his cohort of CiT\u2019s and each of us got a chance to sit down for a long, individual chat with the leadership of the program. They are ready for us to head back overseas to be near projects! <\/strong><\/em>We\u2019re starting the process of meeting the team and figuring out the logistics of getting there and will give you more information as soon as things solidify.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, back in North Carolina…<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We were slowly working on packing for a stateside move and working and homeschooling. Now we\u2019re more seriously trying to sort into take, store<\/em>, and purge <\/em>categories\u2014which is a bit harder, we have to look at each thing and decide if we\u2019ll have space and weight for it in suitcases. (Alternatively, try to determine how replaceable each item we\u2019d like to keep will be when we get there.) While everything gets sorted out, we\u2019ll be moving to Texas mid-December. We hope to be moving overseas by mid-February.<\/em><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/abidinginhesed.com\/ministry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/IMG_3328.jpg\")
