Greetings from the United States of America! We left Cambodia on February 21 and after a few days of traveling arrived in the States on February 26. When we left Southeast Asia, it was 90 degrees. When we arrived at the Chicago O’Hare airport there was 6 inches of snow and it was 30 degrees! It was the first time our kids had seen snow (or can remember snow, in Rachel’s case)!

The jet lag has been harder than we remember and we are definitely having some reverse culture shock but things are getting more and more normal each day. We praise the Lord for good health overall in this transition time. We are now settling into our new home (with Heidi’s parents) in Greenville, SC. Her family has been very helpful to us during this time of adjustment. They have especially enjoyed our funny questions that show we have been in another world for four years :-).

Thanks to all who prayed for us in our travels from Pursat to Greenville. We are looking forward to seeing each of you soon. We start our furlough meetings in three weeks.

Until the net is full,

Chris
