Well, this is my inaugural launch into the blogging world. My brother Guy is a blogger extraordinaire and my sister Mindy is the techiest one in our bunch. I decided to jump in so that I can journal the experiences here and have your interaction along the way. The title of the blog, "Letters from the Field" just came to mind one day. Pastoral ministry is of course my calling and my chosen field. Further, I also I think of our ministry and this time in England particularly as time in the mission field of the Lord.
We arrived in Manchester, England at about 7:45am on Friday, May 30th. Addie did great on the plane ride but we are feeling the 6 hour time difference now. We were met with great Christian hospitality by three people from the churches we'll be serving here. They gave Bethany a bouquet of roses and took us to the manse (parsonage) where we are now. Our greeters were sweet, warm, hospitable people. They were just like the Methodist lay people I have known all my life.
We are catching up on sleep now but looking forward to tomorrow. We'll learn to drive on British roadways!
I'll share more later. God bless,
Tommy
