When a missionary family returns....


When a missionary family returns to America after being gone for 3 years

  Ok we all knew and anticipated life was going to be crazy once we landed in mainland United States, but in reality it has been beyond crazy!!!!  Since we landed not quite 2 weeks ago this family of 5 has had 24 different appointments.  Here is a quick run-down on those appointments; So we have 3 less teeth, 1 in braces, 1 in orthodontic appliance (and another appointment made for more work on their mouths in a couple weeks), 2 in contacts, 1 that doesn’t need glasses at all, 5 teeth cleanings,3 cavities filled,7 chiropractor adjustments, 4 well people visits with an unsuspected ear infection found, 1 shot and 1 TB skin test taken and read. Getting 2 kids signed up for online schooling and all that entails. We also have thrown in a Welcome Home party for ourselves at a local park. An added stress of trying to get all these things done before we leave on Aug. 8th to start the journey of Meliah starting college- which in itself is major stress.
