Hello Everyone!
We are Stateside now and really having a good time with family. Yesterday we were able to go to Todd's family's church, Dardenne Presbyterian, and visit with lots of friends there. It was wonderful to see so many. We are looking forward to Christmas here in St. Louis area, then heading up to Maine to be with Julie's family for a couple weeks, then back into Missouri for awhile to visit the rest of our churches, with a trip to Florida in the middle of that. We'll be busy and loving it.
The last few weeks have been so full! We arrived in Croata after my surgery, had a couple Kid's Clubs (great opportunities to share the Gospel!), welcomed the couple that's standing in for us while we're gone, packed to come to the U.S., arrived here on Wednesday of last week and have been busy with family and doctor appointments ever since.
I, Julie, have been doing much better here. The flight was uneventful and on-time everywhere, which really helped since I was still recovering from surgery. I do still need to go to the doctor to be checked out here, to make sure everything is fine, but am feeling much better. The kids are loving their time with family and experiencing America again. So we are glad to be back.
At the same time, we are really sad to have left Croata. There were so many opportunities and things were going so well. But we know the Lord directed us and provided for us to come back, and it is important for us to meet with our supporters, so we know the Lord has us here for this season. But we are very much looking forward to returning and continuing the work in the Croata.
We'll be sending out an update with our schedule of church visits soon. But in the meantime, if you would like to visit with us or need to get in touch, our St. Louis number is 636-447-8540 and our cell number is 636-284-5207. We want to see as many of you as possible during out time in the U.S.
Thank you for all your prayers. We love you all very much!
Have a wonderful time celebrating Christ's birth! Merry Christmas!
Love and Prayers,
Julie Hendry
