In January, we had a survey trip planned to Ohio. We had put our house up for sale. The trip was to look at apartments and see what the Lord had for work for us in that area.
8 days before we left, Mark was doing his personal prayer and bible study time. He felt that we should go join his friend Justin Humes who was in Texas, to help with door to door evangelism. Mark felt our 2 week trip to Ohio should be followed by a 4 week trip to Texas. So I suddenly had to pack for 6 weeks instead of 2 weeks. Remember, this is the middle of winter in Maine. It was very cold to be packing the camper we had just purchased.
4 days before we left, Mark felt that we should clean out the house. It was for sale and we did not want to drive back just to deal with the house. We signed power of attorney over to my parents and began packing the entire house (in 4 days). We got it done but everything was either thrown into boxes or tossed into the camper. Nothing was really organized.
We left Maine not knowing how long God would have us gone for. It was really hard to say goodbye to my mom and dad, not knowing when we would see them again. We were excited to see what God had for us but also not sure how our family would adjust to such different circumstances. I was 25 weeks pregnant at this time.
