Move, Family, London!

Well, the Fissels are in London! i know we have skipped a few steps so i will refresh those of you we have not had the fortune to communicate with.

We did finish our move into the storage unit despite the weather. we had so many friends come to our aide that it was really just a blessing mentally and physically. the stress of moving out, and at the same time, packing to be out of the country for two months was finally starting to wear us down. so, if you were able to lend us a hand over the past few days, or just stopped to give us a word of encouragement -- thank you!

Laura and i were able to attend church one last Sunday where our church family prayed over us in front of the congregation. this has always been one of the things that means a great deal to both Laura and i. something about having hands laid on you and your friends joining you in declaring the plans and dreams that the Lord has is something that words fail to describe.

after this we had an AWESOME lunch with our friends before we headed to RUFFTON to hang out with the Wrights. we were able to get some much needed rest there and eventually at my Mom's house in Davie County before we were carried off to the Greensboro airport around lunchtime Wednesday.


i am sure we will update more on the details of our adventure so far, but let's just say we are here and enjoying ourselves. it's my first time over that "big pond" so i am experiencing jet lag for the first time in my life and it stinks! but we have already had a chance to hang out with our friends the Milnes, who work here in London with the South Asian communities. we have been blessed by their kindness, understanding and love.

it seems hard to believe we will be on a plane tomorrow evening headed for South Africa! well, hopefully we will be able to post again with our London mini-adventure before we leave. we are still able to check email, and we would love to hear from you, so please, email us anytime at mikey@fissel.com or laura@fissel.com and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!

all our love...
