Our chaplains come from very different denominations which presents some challenges. But, as we are the Body of Christ, we work together to bring glory to Him. Right after this, our Zach (below) was passing through Mountain Home on his way to move back to the Fort Lewis area (now JBLM) where we met him. That is one of the "perks" of doing what we do. We get to meet amazing people, help them know the Savior better and later hear how He is using them now.
Sadly, this week I will have to say goodbye to Sovatta. Her husband was a refugee from Cambodia as a child. His mother helped arrange a wife for him from Cambodia. Sovatta didn't speak English when she got here. As she was learning English, our friendship developed. She has since become a Christian. If you are my friend on facebook, you will see lots of pictures of her. Pray that she will find someone in Texas (near Houston) to mentor her.
One Sunday night, the chapel had a Trunk or Treat event in the parking lot. Ed and I dressed up as pirates.
Mission Aviation Fellowship headquarters is only an hour drive from Mountain Home. We took a group from the chapel to tour their facility. Several members of our group expressed great interest in pursuing missions after their military service.
We had a good group of families for Thanksgiving.
Our holiday tea party at my house turned out well. These ladies love being pampered and having a break. Xiomara and Sovatta are precious to me.
After the tea party, about 25 of us went to Nampa to watch The Living Christmas Tree.
Praying over Rex and Sovatta Friday night at our house.
Yesterday, Chaplain Findley asked those who are there for the last time to stand up. Four families in one Sunday! I thought it would get easier the longer we do this work. No! It is not! We will miss them so much.
