Sharpes In Serbia

My brother Tim and his family left on Monday for Serbia. They arrived safe and sound after the three-legged flight, and amazingly all of their checked luggage arrived as well. And there was a lot of checked luggage. I think the total count was 14 crates right at the weight limit of 50 pounds each, plus their four carry-ons, a stroller, and a carseat.

Why all the luggage? Well, they'll be staying in Cacak, Serbia for two years as Christian workers. They're not settled in yet (they're staying with another missionary family until they can get their own housing), but once they do you'll be able to follow along at their first blog, Sharpes in Serbia.

Say a prayer for them as Tim, Jennifer, Caleb, and Samantha settle in to a completely different lifestyle. Send them an email of encouragement.

We look forward to seeing them on Skype once they've got a Net connection.
