We have had an unexpected opportunity to share the guest house with some folks from the Eastern part of the country. The family needed to come into town for a medical emergency. We hope we have been able to be a little help to these new friends, and we are thankful to God that the medical issues have been dealt with very well at the hospital and that the whole family is together now with us at the guest house. It has been fun for Drew to have other toddlers in the house, and it has been good for his selfish heart to have lots of practice sharing.
That surprise meant a bit of a change of plans, since the Lohmann family was scheduled to stay with us this week. We are so thankful that Missy and Peter have graciously taken in our company. We have still had fun seeing the city and getting in some good chats together. It is a great encouragement to hear about the work Sarah and Mathias are investing their lives in and we’re so glad they could join us for a little rest!
In between we’ve been fitting in some lunches, language work and meetings as we prepare for the end of our time here. Andy has had some good meetings with other friends connected with work here in the country. Next week he’ll have some planning meetings that will hopefully help shape work here for several years to come. And of course, there are still some of Andy’s occasional meetings with a local friend to try to keep improving his Turkish.
