We're Back!



We are back in the United States! We returned to Atlanta Sunday evening, February 4th. My Grandpa Vaughn passed away early Sunday morning. Tuesday I flew to Las Vegas, Nevada for the funeral. Last Thanksgiving, Grandpa wandered off in a demented state. He ended up hiking 35 miles to Red Rock one of his favorite spots. He was found a day and a half later walking back. The day after the funeral, we hiked Red Rock in memory of Grandpa. We are thankful for the two extra months to spend with him. Gracey, Betsy, and I got to visit with him last Christmas. I returned to Atlanta this morning and took Heather and the kids to the airport where they flew to Wichita. I am currently in Chattanooga, TN where I will speak at a Sunday school at Covenant Presbyterian tomorrow. From there I will drive home. Please pray that God will give us peace and rest following our two months of travel. We need to recharge our physical and spiritual batteries for more transition ahead.

Thank you to the many of you who have been praying faithfully. And I especially want to thank our small group at Heartland who turned on the hot water heater, bought groceries, and had a hot meal waiting for Heather this evening.

Here are the newsletters our group put together over the last four weeks in Belgium:

Dear Jeff and Heather and kids, I see you are back in the USA. I do hope you will have a chance to come by CCA. My class all tried to send you a note last week--I found a few of them, but it looks like some of them did not get through. Anyway, we are praying for you and would love to see you, if you have time.
