Agnew update

It's so hard to believe we've been in Scotland for 7 weeks already. Time really is flying by. We are still staying with our friend and traveling back and forward between Edinburgh and the the town where we are working. Just this week our 'family' expanded as another girl moved into the flat/apartment.

Just this past week we heard that we are in good health when we got the results of our medicals. The doctor has recommended that Tabitha have an electrocardiogram to check out a little heart murmur she has had since birth. We also finished off our debriefing session with some recommendations to help us through this time of transition and beyond. We are so grateful for the service provided here which is especially geared toward foreign missionaries. Though I think we have transitioned very well it is always helpful to verbalise experiences and emotions to know what is going on and how to respond. This has been a difficult week for Tabitha who has been wanting to back to Mexico and Northern Ireland.

Perhaps it's because she knows we are moving again and doesn't feel settled, perhaps she is trying to cope with the transition in her own little way. We appreciate your prayers for her as she figures it all out.

We have been looking at houses in Wallyford and we have had some interest in our house in N. Ireland. So praise God!! There's nothing concrete yet and at times we are frustrated and eager to move out and get settled but overall we are confident that God's timing is perfect and He is very much in control of what is happening. Our quest to find a house has opened many opportunities for input from people who live in the area and we have begun to make new friends.

The SU group continues to give us a real buzz with between 30 and 40 kids each week. The mothers and toddlers group is trying out some new ideas and we hope to attract some more new mums. We're excited that already there is a weekly bible study on Tuesday evenings and with new believers from the area attending it is a fresh and exciting time. The weeks are busy with quite a bit of planning and meetings at the moment.

Thank you for your continued prayers and keep checking in every couple of weeks for brief updates as God blesses the work here.
