Heather has now been in Turkey for over a week and Chuck has been in the states trying to take advantage of the little time he has left. Both of us are counting down the days until Chuck gets to come to Turkey and we can be together again. God has been teaching us to trust Him even more through the stress & frustrations of moving and trying to get things done.
Chuck has been trying to spend as much time as he can with friends & family, as well as getting last minute things packed up or bought. He's been able to spend time with Hannah and with our good friend & Chuck's mentor Chris. Please pray for Chuck as he's getting things worked out in the States & especially on the 18th, 19th & 20th as they will be moving our belongings.
Heather has been doing well and trying to keep herself busy so she doesn't miss everyone from home. The Turkish culture has been wonderful! The people are so friendly and the food is the bestest!! There's fresh fruit & vegetables everywhere & they taste wonderful! The Farmer's market is a delight to visit & the many different restaurants & yummy food is fabulous. Thankfully there are some friendly people that have been willing to share their love of Turkey and have taken Heather & others around to see parts of the land. Since Heather has the camera, a couple of pictures are included...
This is a house in Turkey. Heather was told that a lot of Turkish people don't completely finish their houses, since then they don't have to pay taxes. You can see in this picture that the Turkish people will also grow grape vines from the ground to the top of their house and have it grow over an arbor to create shade & have their grapes readily available.
Heather & a couple of other friends at a restaurant called 'Prestij' on the outskirts of Adana.Isn't it beautiful?
A sample of the food that was served & enjoyed by all.
A picture of the empty house that will eventually become the Kershner's Home Sweet Home in Turkey. It's pretty nice and just needs a lot of love to become a home.Please be praying for Chuck & Heather to stay sane & to continue trusting in God. Thus far both are feeling stressed & are easily frustrated, but God is providing as He always does.
Go with God!
Go with God!
