We’re writing with thankful hearts to let you know that we’ve arrived back in Bishkek a week ago and this time the transition feels so different. Walking into our same little house again—one that already holds so many memories—felt comforting instead of overwhelming. Last time everything was new and unknown, but now we’re returning to rhythms, faces, and routines that feel familiar. There’s something sweet about stepping back into a place that no longer feels so foreign, but like a home we get to grow into even more.

Last time we spoke we weren’t sure if we would be able to remain in our house here as our current landlord is selling. But praise God, we will be able to continue renting under the new owner! We feel really grateful to be able to continue making memories here as we serve Christ in Kyrgyzstan.

Would you please pray for:

• Brad as he jumps into Integra work and begins the transition into the Director role

• Rhythms and routines of life for the girls as we jump into another year of homeschooling

• The transition of Brad’s parents leaving Bishkek after 30 years of field work! We’ve loved this season of living near them, and are sad they are leaving.
