This past Sunday night our bible class at Memorial Road
honored the Vienna Team at our monthly fellowship night. It was a great time of
food, fellowship, and fun. Our class presented the team with a Bible that
families had signed next to highlighted scriptures that were considered
favorites or ones that will help encourage us while we are in Vienna! Each
family also received a webcam to help us keep in touch with friends/family or
other guys in the US. It was truly a blessing that only our family in Christ
could give us. Praise the Lord and thank you to the North’s, Lashley’s, and all
that helped make that possible. See pics at http://tryggblog.blogspot.com/2007/05/sending-them-off-with-bible-webcam-and.html
Sorry our blogging has not been updated more on a regular
basis but we have had a lot going on, that is, I would say we have been doing a
plethora of items that have prevented us from contributing to the blogger
world.
A couple of weeks ago we held the first of two major garage
sales that the team will put on before we leave. Our hope was that by combining
junk….er… I mean household items from four families we would draw a larger
crowd. It is hard to measure the success of the garage sale as we still had
items left over one of which is a very nice dresser and hutch that is still
currently for SALE!! Please contact us using the “contact us” link at the
bottom of our webpage if you are interested.
Anyway, there will be another garage sale this weekend at
the Hensal’s house that will hopefully rid us of the rest of the earthly
possessions that will not be moved to Vienna but can now infest someone else’s
poor closet space!
I feel like I am rambling on at this point not sure if I
should list all the things we’re working on, people we are meeting with, or
papers we are shredding. Just please be patient and understanding with us if
you say “hi” and we just stare with our bloodshot eyes into space muttering
something about converting 110V to 220V. Also if we don’t immediately return
any e-mails within the next five years, just send us a reminder in year six.
All seriousness aside, the Lord is the sustainer and
giver of life and we are learning to rely upon his strength more each day! How
great is our God!
