Pray for my family!

I sent this email out today:

Hey, guys!

You were all so faithful to pray for my trip to Ecuador a few months back (has it really been that long already??) that I feel like I should ask you to pray for this too...

My family is moving. Actually, technically, my dad already has but the rest of the family (minus me) is heading out this weekend. They are going to be living in St. Kitts which is in the Caribbean, southwest of Puerto Rico, I think. They have a lease on a house for a year but they may end up staying longer if needed. My dad has been there since Labor Day and I'm not going so that means my mom has to get herself, the kids and a ridiculous amount of luggage from Atlanta to St. Kitts by herself...this involves layovers in both Miami and Puerto Rico. Pray for her!

Really, pray for the whole family...they are going to have a completely different way of life down there. Yeah, their house is on a mountain and looks over the Caribbean, but a lot of the things they are used to...most of the foods they normally eat are extremely expensive. Pray for their safety, and their adjustment. And, pray that this would be a good time for them as a family.

Pray for me, too...my family is leaving! They are going to be really far away. Phone calls can be difficult and I certainly won't be able to drop by if I just want a meal that doesn't involve the microwave. I love my brothers and sister and I'll be missing out on a year of their lives...especially my sister who is most definitely making the transition from preschooler to little girl. And, Daniel, my oldest brother, will be a teenager when they come home.

Thanks so much!

His,
Kerry

I'll post some pics of where they'll be living soon...my computer at work won't let me upload them. I think my mom has some pics of the actual house.

Thanks for praying!
