While it may seem like a long time for others, it seems like just yesterday that we moved to Ocosingo to serve as missionaries with Pablo & Jan Feliciano. After 5 1/2 long days of driving, we arrived safely in Pilot Mountain, NC last night to the open arms of John's sister, Kristi, and her family. We look forward to reconnecting with folks at our church on Sunday and with others in NC over the coming weeks.
Perhaps our biggest spiritual lesson was learned by experiencing God's amazing provision for our needs. Throughout the journey, our needs were consistently met, even if they were sometimes met at the last minute and/or in ways we didn't expect. That experience continued as we arrived in NC without a clear plan of where we would be living! Special thanks to Carl Utley, Mark Maxwell, Kristi Rolison, Ellen Bergland, Glenn Cobb and others who pitched in to try to make sure weren't homeless. In God's amazing provision, we are now squared away for a furnished and equipped apartment in our chosen school district until the current renters move out of our home on Heidelbury Drive. Our temporary address will be 1831 Murphy Lane, Winston-Salem, NC 27104.
We ask that you continue to pray for our family as we try to transition back to life in the US. For the past 2 years, we've tried hard to maintain meaningful relationships and projects in the US while establishing a new home in Ocosingo. Now we will try to do the reverse! We will try to maintain meaningful relationships and projects in Ocosingo while re-establishing our home in NC. We have experienced so much, come to love so many, and learned more than we could ever have imagined during our time in Chiapas. We now have two homes, one in NC and one in Chiapas. On the sad side, that means we'll always be missing some that we love, but on the joyful side, it also means that we'll always be enjoying the company of others that we love at the same time!
We will continue to be involved in the development and operation of Las Manos de Cristo, the ministry of Pablo & Jan, and mission trips to Mexico, so we'll continue our updates for awhile at least. We'll craft an update on the closing days, an update on the clinic, prayer needs and opportunities for partnership in the coming weeks. For now though, please pray for our transition and for the safe travels for Pablo and Jan Feliciano as Pablo begins his journey as one of the international Peacekeepers for PCUSA!
Together with you in Christ's service,
Ginny, John, Holly & Maggie Mills
