Update: Our prayers have been answered concerning our landlords desire to ask us to deceive the bank. They found a solution that would leave us out of whatever deal they plan to make. We thank God that the pressure has been lifted from us and that our relationship with them remains the same.

Tomorrow we are driving to Bucharest for the conference for the churches of Christ in Romania. You may ask, "conference?" Well, you could call it a lectureship. I'm translating the word that the Romanians use for it. This one will be my final one.

Stephanie and I have begun to take inventory of our possessions here so that we can begin selling what we do not want to keep. We are planning to ship back only the essentials and make a fresh start once we move back to the states. We have decided to move back in January. The elders at Parsons will send a letter to all of our supporting congregations about it. The Hollands have applied for work at the Tompkinsville, KY congregation. If they are accepted, they will move around the same time. If not, they will stay until April or May.

We are also trying to prepare the Christians here for our departure. We ask that you keep us in your prayers as we make this big transition in our lives.

God bless,
Eric
