Dear Friends,

We're off to Bakersfield! Kevin is scheduled to be picked up Monday morning at 11:00 am. Sarah will even be able to ride along with him in the van. Everett and I will follow later as Everett has to work half a day on Monday. We plan to return home on Thursday and then will probably be visiting only on the weekends. After seeing him every day for the past 11 weeks, this will be a difficult adjustment. However, we are very excited but also a bit pensive. We all see this as a very positive step forward for Kevin to get all the help he can possibly get.

You will probably not hear from me in the next couple of days as we have much to do to get ready for the big move and I probably won't be in touch until we return home next week. If something really important comes up I'll call Karin to send an update. So in the meantime please keep Kevin and us in your prayers that all will go well. Please pray Kevin will be calm during the drive to Bakersfield and as we get him readjusted in his new surroundings. Pray for us as we meet with therapists, case workers, etc., as we try to give them a glimpse of the real Kevin. Of course our greatest desire is that God will perform a miracle and bring Kevin back to us completely whole.

Thank you for your prayers,
Tami

That's wonderful news! We'll be praying for a smooth transition. I want to reissue our invitation if you would like someplace to crash at night. Rosamond is only about an easy hour drive to Bakersfield. We've got a couple of spare rooms with comfortable beds. You're all more than welcome to stay here, if you'd like to.
