Sunday

Justin got a big welcome at church. Everyone was so glad to see him. I think it is really good for people to see Justin in the middle of this trial. He is happy, confident and ready to share with anyone who will talk to him. There is no need to be nervous or upset--he certainly isn't that way. He got to see lots of people who have been encouraging him, praying for him, sending cards and gifts. His old friend Ryan was so happy to see him that he immediately invited us for lunch at his house. It feels to great to be loved by our friends.

All day long we were restless. I finally figured out that my head was telling me to get ready to go back to Iowa City. It was great to know that we don't have to do that anymore! I'm still living out of my suitcase, but plan to deal with that today.
