Deputation for me?  Is the journey God has me on today.  People ask, Where do you live? I say, wherever God has me on that day.  Home?  It’s where my husband is for the moment.  I guess practically speaking you could say our home is our sweet lil red honda civic, and yet- there’s so much more to a home than even our car can contain.

How many people have the opportunity to travel the country and sight see? Not many, and with deputation, we get to!  I heard of one family calling their deputation, depuvacation- putting the words deputation and vacation together.  I believe it’s true tho- with an positive outlook on everything you get to do, deputation can be a whole lot of fun!!  

My personal favorite part is that I get to spend all day long with my husband!  I never have to say good-bye.  Aren’t I spoiled???  I am, I really am.  Whenever I think about us having a long car drive, I always remind myself- Heather, you get to spend the whole day with the Love of your life!  How many people would love to have the whole day with their love?

Finally, deputation is a season.  It’s a once in a life opportunity we have to travel around to different churches, and share with them the burden God has given us to reach South America.  What a gift!  At times I do get anxious to have my own place, a house where my husband and I can relax and share, but until then, I’m determined to enjoy the journey! - Heather
