Service Mission For Papa & Mimi

 Dear Kids, 

Our service mission here at Papa and Mimi's house is almost done. It is almost time to move forward. I started feeling it last week. 

God sent us on this journey for LOTS of reasons. One of the reasons is for every single one of you to know and understand that wherever we are, that is our home. It is where we are together. Another lesson is that God is giving us lots of opportunity to be on His errand, and His errand in Idaho has been Mimi and Papa and helping them. 

We've been able to clean out the garage, clean the basement, clean the food storage room, clean out the herb room and the craft room... we've been able to do a lot. Mimi hasn't been able to do much physically for a few years, she's really struggled with her health. So the house was REALLY behind. God wanted us to come here and serve them. And so we did. 

I hope you remember this part of the chapter of our lives as a good chapter. I know you will remember it all very differently. The up's and down's of it all... leaving your friends and leaving security to be up in the air for a bit to have various experiences. I don't know what the future is going to look like, but I can tell you that I know that I hear the voice of the spirit and I can have confidence in that. 

I have learned how to listen to the spirit through LOTS of practice. Practice over and over and over again. It takes consistent diligent work, but I know you can do it. You can all learn how to hear the voice of the spirit in your life also. I know you can. 

I love you kids, 

Your Mom

(update: Jan 2022 - rereading this post. There was more for us to do before we left. God had us help Mimi in a HUGE way while she was dying. And then we stayed with Papa longer through the holidays to help with his grief transition from losing Mimi. I feel like one reason she was able to let go was because she knew the house wasn't being left a mess for Papa. While I was cleaning out a storage room in September the spirit told me that she was going to die while we were there. I didn't have any idea what that was going to look like, but it came to fruition. I'm grateful for the spirit preparing me for that.)
