We ended up coming back here on Friday instead of Thursday because of winter storm warnings. The roads were still pretty bad for the first part of the trip on the way down, but at least it was in daylight.
We bought another car before we left, though, since we were around another day. It was one that a couple at our church up there had owned, and it looks like it'll be a good car for us.
Erick also got his new hearing aids Saturday! I hadn't mentioned them in this blog yet, but he had purchased them on Ebay on Valentine's Day. He'd gone in for a hearing test, and it turned out the amount we had saved back for hearing aids ($2000) wasn't going to be enough. We were disappointed and were considering buying just one for him and trying to save up for another later. We were on Ebay and found a pair of really nice ones for $1700, new. These are the kind that are digital and have a remote, and they are a new design that is more comfortable and lets your ears breathe. He's amazed at how much better they work than his old ones that accidentally ended up in the wash. He really enjoyed the service yesterday, being able to really hear and interact with people.
Yesterday was our installation service. The District Superindentant, Pastor Gifford, nearly got lost trying to find us, but he made it in time.
It was a really good
sermon. He's got a sense of humor, and he can switch back and forth between
being funny and being serious pretty quickly. 
They had a potluck
afterwards. We're pretty busy trying to settle in. I don't know when I'm going to have time to check my 28 unread subscriptions.
I've never
had that many to check at once! Forums is just going to have to wait, though. I
still have school to teach, and we've got to go over and look at some furniture
later on, and we really need to find the library and get some books on the
Southern states for school. It's good to be back, though.
